Dr Mike Bullivant is a British organic photochemist known for his appearances on all six series of BBC's Rough Science.[1] Bullivant studied Chemistry at the University of Wales (Cardiff) and attained a PhD in organic photochemistry at the Universities of Cardiff and Nottingham.[2]

Bullivant also presented the BBC/Open University series The Chemistry of Almost Everything which, in 1996, was the first Open University series to be shown in a prime-time slot, rather than the usual overnight slots traditionally reserved for OU broadcasts.[3][4]

Bullivant was awarded an honorary Master of the University degree by the Open University in 2007 for his “significant contribution to the education and culture of Milton Keynes”[5]
