DAVID BRADLEY SCIENCE WRITER – I’ve worked in science communication since 1989. Hard to believe, I know, given my youthful looks. Having set out as a chemist, I quickly realised I was better at writing up the sheaves of lab notes than rolling up the sleeves of lab coats. From the early 1990s onwards, I built up a freelance portfolio with the likes of New Scientist, The Daily Telegraph, American Scientist, The Guardian, Science, Nature, Chemistry in Britain, Chemistry & Industry, ChemWeb, BioMedNet, and many other publications and outlets, wrote bits of books, contributed to CD-ROMs (remember those?) and picked up a few science and medical writing awards along the way. My first solo book, Deceived Wisdom, was published in 2012 by Elliott & Thompson.

You can follow this link for a more or less complete list of clients and outlets past and present. Just for the record, I currently have a small, select group of clients, but am open to new opportunities. You can find me on Mastodon.

I take a lot of photos as well as writing and performing a lot of music as a solo singer-songwriter, with a band called C5, a community choir known as The TyrannoChorus, and with the pit band for Cottenham Theatre Workshop.

You may well have reached Sciencebase via one of my other websites: the chemistry app site ChemSpy, the Scientific American award-winning Reactive Reports, the SciScoop community, or my tech site Sciencetext. The original sites are no longer available but I did absorb some of their content into the searchable Sciencebase archives.
