Well, where do we begin? There's so much I could tell you but so little space.
I'm both a health science writer and a consultant (in external affairs, communication, policy, strategy, and stakeholder engagement) for health organisations.
Over the years I’ve been involved in all sorts, from Downing Street receptions, parliamentary events, TV interviews and multimillion pound fundraising galas, to challenging decision-makers, lecturing in human biology, fielding calls in a press office, and negotiating with building site managers. I've worked with scientists, politicians, the media, healthcare professionals, patients, the general public, celebrities, students and construction workers, amongst others. There's never a dull moment!
I have a couple of books coming out in 2023, so do look out for those. In the meantime, there are others you might like to explore. My colleague Caroline and I created two handbooks (our Made Easy series) that offer practical tips on how to do science communication and public engagement. They're perfect for beginners to the field and designed to be scribbled all over. My popular science book, Drinkology, is all about the science of what we drink. Everyone drinks something every day so surely it should be in every thinking (& drinking) household?! My first book, How Much Brain Do We Really Need?, is also pretty good. You should probably buy a copy.
