About
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 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.

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