Hello.

I am a science journalist and broadcaster. I make radio programmes and write articles about science and technology. This year I was awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research journalism award.

My articles and radio programmes have been published and broadcast for BBC Online News, New Scientist, EMBL, BBC Wildlife Magazine, BBC Radio Four’s ‘Material World’ and BBC World Service’s ‘Science in Action’; and I also contribute to CBC radio’s ‘Spark’, a national technology and trendwatching show.

Before this I worked at the BBC in London and before this I got my doctorate in evolutionary genetics from the University of Edinburgh by studying how fruit flies fight disease. You can read more about my research here.
