I am a freelance science journalist. I have written and edited articles on all areas of science, with a particular focus on life and environmental sciences. I have also written science fiction criticism.

I was previously acting editor of BBC Earth. Before that I spent seven years at New Scientist.

You can find a list of my articles on my contently page.
