Zoological correspondent, science-writer, author
Writing
I pride myself on thinking creatively, generating original ideas and working to deadlines. I am always open to approaches, however late-in-the-day.
As well as writing regularly for BBC Science Focus and The Guardian (click here for latest pieces) I have written for a host of other magazines and newspapers including Discover Magazine, The Independent, BBC Focus, BBC Countryfile Magazine and VICE.
