Overview
With more than 25 years' experience in science journalism and publishing, I'm comfortable working in any field of science or medicine. I have written and sub-edited for science magazines, nursing magazines, engineering magazines, doctors' newspapers and national newspapers.
Most recently, my specialties have been neuroscience and psychology. I'm the author of two popular science books, about the neuroscience of meditation and altered states of consciousness, and have edited or copy-edited books about nutrition, pregnancy and space exploration.
I have worked alongside some of the best writers and editors in journalism, as science production editor at the Guardian newspaper and senior sub-editor at New Scientist magazine. Tight deadlines do not faze me.
I have written two books of my own: Siddhartha's Brain: Unlocking the Ancient Science of Enlightenment (2016) and Am I Dreaming? The New Science of Consciousness and How Altered States Reboot the Brain (2019).
