I'm a zoological correspondent, author and science-writer, with twenty years of experience in the sector. I appear regularly on BBC Radio 4, on shows including Nature Table, Inside Science and The Ultimate Choice and host events for a number of science festivals, including Cheltenham Science Festival, Edinburgh International Science Festival and more. 

​

My books for adults include Infinite Life and Wonderdog (winner of the Barker Book Prize 2023). My non-fiction books for children have been translated into more than 20 languages and are enjoyed by children all over the world. I write regularly for The Guardian (here's the latest pieces), Science Focus Magazine and Slate.
