I'm a postdoc at UC Davis in California, having received my doctorate degree from the University of Liverpool and my undergraduate degree from the University of Leeds in my home country of England. I am passionate about communicating and understanding science but unsure of my future role in it. For now I'm enjoying the freedom of a postdoc and the fantastic opportunity to live in California!

Science writing is one potential career path I have been thinking increasingly about, so I thought I would test out my skills on you poor people! The null hypothesis I'm hoping to disprove is that my science writing is about as interesting as watching paint dry...let's see shall we?
