Brighton MP praises Sussex scientist's "cutting edge" research. Caroline Lucas has praised the work of a University of Sussex scientist as "cutting edge" and "mind-expanding". The Brighton Pavilion MP said the work of Dr Amy Gardner was ground-breaking, and applauded the University for its "pioneering, scientific research". Ms Lucas's comments came during a visit to the University's Falmer campus after being invited to a presentation of Dr Gardner's work on how to reveal the secrets of the universe. Dr Gardner's research probes the very small areas of physics, such as atoms and molecules, and uses lasers and specialised equipment in an effort to answer some of the biggest questions in physics. During the presentation Ms Lucas, who studied English at university, was shown around Dr Gardner's laboratory, viewed the latest technology such as lasers and vacuum systems, and had some of the theories behind mind-boggling quantum technology explained. Ms Lucas said: "That was absolutely mind expanding and fascinating.
