I love all things science communication, whether that is talking to school children about their brains or getting octogenarians to think about the genes that make them who they are. I believe that as scientists, we have a responsibility to engage the public in the research that we are doing, as it is often funded by charities and through the government. I am a committed and passionate Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Ambassador.
I am currently working on my first solo book proposal and I am represented by Charlotte Seymour as my literary agent.
