In this edition: We revisit interviews with some celebrity guests: singer Ana Matronic, Queen\\u2019s Brian May, and astrophysicist and author Katie Mack.

Ana Matronic meets the robots \\u2013 Scissor Sisters singer Ana Matronic visited Imperial in 2015 to meet robotics researcher Dr Aldo Faisal. She spoke about her book, her passion for robots and her devotion to the international, intellectual movement called transhumanism.

Brian May submits his PhD \\u2013 In 2007, a rather extraordinary PhD student submitted his thesis \\u2013 Queen guitarist Brian May. He returned to Imperial to complete the PhD he started before the band took off, and we caught up with him to talk space dust, how Imperial has changed since the 1970s, and whether his thesis or Bohemian Rhapsody is his biggest achievement.

Dr Katie Mack contemplates the end \\u2013 Astrophysicist and author Dr Katie Mack gave a guest lecture at Imperial in 2019 for a \\u2018Science for Fiction\\u2019 event. We asked her about her favourite way the universe might die, whether she ever gets melancholy about the ultimate end, and how science fiction helps her unwind.
