With a biology degree, specialising in cellular and molecular biology, I have written a host of science-related stories, from LSD as a therapeutic treatment to 3D-printed drugs, from cancer economics to antibiotic resistance, from the microbiome to the pharmaceutical business model. My work has been published in The British Medical Journal, The Telegraph, Raconteur reports for The Times, Men’s Fitness, Scientific American, Breathe Magazine, PharmaTimes Magazine, How it Works Magazine, Chemistry & Industry Magazine, Chemistry World Magazine and SecuringIndustry.com, among others. Here is a selection of some of my work.
