About the Author

I'm curious about the world around me. As well as science, I enjoy digging into philosophy, sociology, art and literature. 

​

I'm passionate about the climate crisis, and am trying (not always successfully) to reduce my own environmental impact. It's why you might hear me talk about attempting to give up flying, failed veganism (why is cheese so delicious?), four day working weeks, expanding wild areas in the UK, and social justice.

​

I have two cats, who are excellent and ridiculous. I expect I'll write about them someday.
