I have a BSc in biochemistry and a PhD in molecular genetics, and trained as a research scientist before moving into teaching. For the last 20 years I have written and developed science education materials, with a particular interest in the 11 - 16 age group. I have worked for most of the major UK publishers (Pearson – including Edexcel, Heinemann & Longman), Nelson Thornes (now part of Oxford University Press), Hodder Education and HarperCollins. I have been the series editor on a number of publications, including Edexcel 9-1 GCSE Sciences and four editions of Exploring Science, and I have led a panel looking at curriculum design for Pearson. I'm based in west London.
