As a seasoned freelance science writer, I specialize in communicating complex scientific ideas in an engaging and accessible manner. With over 35 years of experience, I've contributed to a variety of publications, winning awards for both my writing and websites, and in 2023, even my photography.

Initially focusing on chemistry and related topics back in the 1990s for publications like New Scientist, Science, and The Guardian, as well as countless trade magazine. I also pioneered science news on the web with the establishment of the first popular science webzine in 1995 and involvement in the inaugural web-based scientific conference. Over the years, my expertise expanded to cover a broad spectrum of scientific and technological subjects. I continue to provide content for various outlets.

On my personal website, I now explore a range of topics, including science, photography, and nature, with a recent emphasis on integrating my passion for wildlife photography with the latest research in the natural sciences.

Beyond my writing pursuits, I am an active musician involved in several musical endeavours, including performances with a gigging band, a community choir, and a theatrical band. I also engage in solo work, compose and record music, and have collaborated with many other artists. Notably, I produced and contributed musically to the CD Fragments for the Clive-upon-Sea project.
