Science Communication

In an open-access society, information is at everyone's fingertips. As scientists, we have a responsibility to disseminate our research in an honest and transparent manner. Despite our best efforts, findings can often be elaborated or misinterpreted in the media. 

Science Writing

As part of my commitment to knowledge mobility, I write evidence-based pieces on learning and development for BOLD ideas (Jacob's Foundation) and other digital platforms for parents and schools. Click here to read my pieces.

Public Engagement

I am the host and founder of The Science or Fiction Podcast where we interview researchers to separate the science from the fiction in news headlines. The podcast is produced with young people: we aim to empower young people as consumers of research, and particularly mental health information. Find out more on our website: www.scienceorfiction.co.uk 

Workshops

I've designed and conducted a range of workshops for children, teachers, and the general public. Feel free to contact me if you're interested in hosting a workshop. 

Collaboration

I have lots of ideas on how we can communicate science findings and how we can engage the public in an exchange of knowledge - get in touch if you'd like to be involved!
