Sergio, my former flatmate from when we both studied at Aberdeen University, has just completed a PhD at King’s College London, and his specialism is the Arab-Israeli conflict. Congratulations, Dr Catignani!

His knowledge of the region has led to him to appear in the media quite a bit recently talking about the current rocket tennis going on between Israel and Hezbollah, including on Sky News.

So, we’ve got Sergio explaining the detail of Israeli security strategy on Sky News, and me talking about mullets on Radio Suffolk. Who’d have thought that one flat could produce two such highbrow and intellectual media celebrities…?
