I am a freelance science writer with a passion for making people laugh, learn and sometimes cry, ideally all at the same time. I take a strongly sceptical, strictly evidence based approach and try to allow my ever so slightly dark sense of humour to shine through in my writing. Debunking dodgy science journalism is my hobby.

I tend to have a fairly long to-do list but I always love to take requests. Feel free to drop me an email on neurobonkers at gmail dot com if you’d like something covered (or if you would just like to say hi). If you’re an editor and would like to use my work or would like me to write for you, please get in touch. I’ve previously written for Nature’s Scitable blog, the New Journalist and my university newspaper (where I recieved the “Best Writer” award). I have done guest blogs for sites such as Synchronium and the JAYFK. My work has been cited by the blogs of The Guardian, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Knight Science Journalism, RSA, The Wellcome Institute and even Cracked.com and I’m regularly featured on Researchblogging.org’s editor’s selection.

TL;DR I love science. I hate bad journalism. This blog is what I do with my free time.
