Hello

I am a Physics teacher at a comprehensive school in London. I also work as a film-maker, science writer and science communication consultant. I have a strong track record of making science and other difficult ideas easy to understand for mass audiences and have worked as a creative consultant on projects ranging from community arts events to children’s TV programmes.

I have written, produced and directed a number of TV programmes about science, ranging in subject matter from particle physics to mathematics. I have worked with and written scripts for a number of high profile scientists including Prof. Brian Cox, Dr Tara Shears and Prof. Marcus du Sautoy. I have also worked in various roles on TV series ranging from Horizon to What the Victorians Did for Us to Science Shack.

I have done some TV presenting, performed live science shows and have extensive experience of public speaking.

My creative approach to science communication has been recognized with a fellowship from the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts (NESTA).

I have a passionate interest in science education and specialize in working closely with scientists to help them tell their own stories.

If you’d like me to write something, make a film, or do anything else for you, get in touch.
