I have worked as a freelance science writer and editor since 1998. My specialist knowledge is in environmental science (especially climate change), evolution, ecology, agriculture and genetics.
I have contributed to New Scientist, Science magazine and BBC Wildlife magazine. I am a panellist on BBC Radio 4's Home Planet. In 1999 I won the BASF Daily Telegraph Young Science Writer of the Year Award. I am a science writer and editor for the Economic and Social Research Council, the UK Environment Agency and the European Environment Agency. I also write and edit children's science books for Dorling Kindersley.
I have a PhD in the ecology of pollinating insects from Cambridge University, awarded in 2002.
I work part-time as a Research Associate and Communications Officer for the Cambridge Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research (4CMR).
