I specialise in beachcombing the scholarly journals and university websites for uncommonly intriguing academic articles by uncommonly intriguing people. Articles such as moustache transplants, the aerodynamics of boomerangs, and uses for phatic cushions. I always provide links back to the original source – just in case anyone thinks I’m making it all up.
I'm currently Rio de Janeiro desk chief for Improbable Research. Anyone with a requirement for original articles about intriguing research can contact me via :
