About Me

Hello, and welcome to my website. I’m a science journalist, editor, author and communicator.
I’ve been a journalist and editor for Nature, the world’s leading science journal, for over 20 years, including five years leading the team as Chief Magazine Editor. I won Editor of the Year at the Association of British Science Writers awards in 2022 and I currently edit content across the magazine. I’m also an Honorary Research Fellow at University College London, where I teach science writing.
My popular science book, The Life Project, was named best science book of the year by The Observer, and was a book of the year for The Economist. I’m currently working on a second book called What to Believe. It’s about the global movement promoting the use of research and evidence to make decisions.
