Science writing & journalism

I have written a number of published articles as a science writer at The Times, including a front-page story. I was an Association of British Science Writers (ABSW) 2023 Media Fellow – an amazing programme with great training and opportunities!

I have appeared on TV, radio and podcasts talking about astrophysics and cosmology in the news.
