Science Writing

I am a freelance science writer and generally cover the physical and environmental sciences. By training I am a geologist but my science interests are diverse and I have written about topics ranging from beetles that collect raindrops to aggresive drivers that cause traffic jams. Past and present science writing clients have included

New Scientist,
The Economist,
The Daily Telegraph,
The Guardian,
The Independent,
Focus Magazine,
EPSRC Publications such as 'Newsline' and 'Spotlight',
National Geographic News
BBC Science News,
Your Environment the magazine of the Environment Agency.
NOISE, the EPSRC science website for teenagers,
Cherrybyte,
CCLRC publications,

I was winner of The Daily Telegraph/BASF Young Science Writer of the Year award in 2000. In addition I was a runner up in the New Scientist/Wellcome Trust Millennial Science Essay Competition 2000.

Examples of some of the articles I have written are available here and if you wish you can download a copy of my CV.

Other Interests

I enjoy mountaineering, climbing with the Fogies occasionally, conservation tasks (with Lothian Conservation Volunteers) and horse riding. A few climbing photos can be found here.
