— mental health & DFIR

The work has
an emotional reality.

Digital forensic work routinely involves exposure to deeply disturbing material. The profession has historically under-discussed this. Prof. Morris is trying to change that.

— advocacy

Two areas
Prof. Morris
actively
advocates for.

Visible. Vocal. Present in the spaces that need more of these voices.

👩‍💻 Women in STEM
Digital forensics still has a representation problem. Prof. Morris speaks openly about her own experience and works to encourage more women into the field — through mentoring, outreach, panel participation, and being a visible presence in a space that needs more of them.

🧠 Neurodiversity
Neurodivergent people are often exceptionally well-suited to digital forensic work. Pattern recognition, lateral thinking, sustained focus, attention to detail — these are not bugs in the system. They are features. Prof. Morris speaks openly about neurodiversity in professional contexts and believes the field is stronger for embracing different thinking styles.

— cyberly

A fictional world
built for real forensic learning.

Cyberly is a fictional investigative world created by Prof. Morris and is central to Sherfox Labs. It is not a game. It is a teaching and research ecosystem — a carefully constructed environment where students, practitioners and researchers can engage with realistic forensic scenarios, including emotionally complex ones, without real-world exposure risk.

🎓

Student teaching

UG and MSc modules use Cyberly scenarios as the backbone of evidence-led learning.

🏫

Practitioner courses

Short courses use Cyberly for hands-on, realistic case-based exercises without operational risk.

🌍

School outreach

Op Art Thief, Op Heartless, Op Teapot Tempest — all set in Cyberly.

🔬

Research

Scenario design, tool testing and decision-making research all use the world.

— comedy

Professor by day.
Comedian by night.
Teddy bear enthusiast. Always.

Yes, that's a real thing. Prof. Morris does science-based comedy — using humour to make genuinely complex topics accessible, memorable and enjoyable for any audience.

It's about finding the absurdity, wonder and human story inside technical subjects — and making an audience feel like they've learned something without noticing.
