Russell Stannard vividly remembers the excitement of discovering Einstein's theories for the first time. Inspired to pass the message on to children, he created his 'Uncle Albert' character, whose adventures are now bestsellers throughout the world. Formerly Professor of Physics at the Open University and Vice President of the Institute of Physics, Russell was recently awarded an OBE for services to physics and the popularisation of science.
