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 new books out in 2023, Calmism (to help you find complete rest - here) and Rethinking the Brain (exploring the brain's capabilities - here), so do look out for those. There are also others you might like to explore. I've created the first pocket guides ( the Become A ... series) of a new series offering career ideas for future students. My colleague Caroline and I created two handbooks (our Made Easy series) that offer practical tips on how to be effective in 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, with neuroscientist Dr Jenny Barnett, How Much Brain Do We Really Need?, is also pretty good. You should probably buy a copy.
