In January 2020, Zhanfeng Cui, a professor of chemical engineering at the University of Oxford, was travelling through Heathrow Airport on his way home from China. When he arrived in London, Cui was surprised to find that there were no temperature checks or tests taking place at the terminal at a time when China was on high alert following the emergence of a new, highly-transmissible respiratory disease. “We [Cui and his colleagues] knew we had to contribute and help stop the spread of the disease in some way,” Cui says.
So when Cui returned to Oxford he approached Wei Huang, a professor of synthetic biology, and together they began working on a rapid coronavirus test that could be implemented at airport borders when passengers are making their way through airport terminals.

TikTok’s biggest names now have millions of followers, but digital celebrities need management – which is where Timothy Armoo comes in. The 24-year-old is the founder of Fanbytes, a social marketing agency which has a talent management arm, Bytesized Talent.
Armoo set up Fanbytes after selling his first business, Entrepreneur Express, a media publication that he set up when he was a teenager, for a six-figure sum. “When you’re a 17-year-old and someone says, ‘Here’s some money for something you’ve worked on for 11 months’, and you’re living in a council house, you’re like, ‘Yep, I’m taking that’,” he says. His time with Entrepreneur Express convinced him of the power of social media to build an audience; seeing his family members being influenced by digital creators into buying the latest products only helped push him further.
