About Jenna Marples
In 2019, Jenna Marples dismantled the myth of the 'boring lab coat' by filming a viral six-minute breakdown of CRISPR gene editing, using nothing but a whiteboard, a kettle, and her grandmother’s biscuit tin as props, to explain off-target effects. Based in Bristol and trained in particle physics at Imperial College, she pivots relentlessly between deep technical rigour and irreverent British humour: her 'Science Without the Jargon' series forced the Royal Society to revise its public engagement guidelines after educators reported a 40% uptick in A-level physics applications linked to her thermal dynamics animations. She refuses voiceover scripts, records live takes with visible eraser smudges and coffee stains on whiteboards, and embeds peer-reviewed citations directly into video thumbnails. Her 2023 collaboration with the UK Met Office produced the first publicly accessible climate model visualiser built for secondary school classrooms, not as a simplified cartoon, but as an interactive Python notebook with real observational datasets.
