| Helen Ougham
is a scientist with a deep interest in biology,
computing and also words and languages. She lives and
works in Wales and, as an adult learner originally from
England, has become a fluent speaker of the Welsh
language and a strong supporter of Welsh culture.
Helen's husband Sid, despite being born and bred in
Wales, has only a rudimentary grasp of the language but
is fortunate in being able to subcontract household
linguistic duties to his more articulate partner.
Helen travels widely in the UK, Europe and North
America in connection with her work and has extensive
international science collaborations.
She is the current (2006-07) Times Crossword
Champion, a title she has held previously (1995).
