About me
|
|
I've worked in science communication, television, and publishing. I create 2D and 3D animations and infographics, edit video, and produce and edit science writings. In my current role I am a digital media specialist and content developer for the International Livestock Research Institute, where I also provide blog and script editing services. Please feel free to contact me regarding freelance work.
Education-wise, I have an MA in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford. I also have an MSc in Science Media Production from Imperial College London, learning how to talk, write about, and present science for TV, radio and press. My latest qualification is an MA in Medical Visualisation and Human Anatomy, a joint degree provided by Glasgow School of Art and Glasgow University.
I particularly like thinking about the inner machinery of cells and trying to comprehend the vast history of life, I like communicating science and telling its stories through multimedia, and I like medical science. When I was a child I said I wanted to be either an artist or a scientist, and that never really changed.
Long answer: The above, and the fact that I'm driven by creativity as much as curiosity. I find science fascinating to learn. I think there's a wealth of new media and technology to use in communicating it. VR for training surgeons, AR to engage students, animation to show those shots you just can't get on video, 3D modelling because imagining 3D from 2D can be a cognitive load too far. Communication has impact. A concise digest of the latest research news, a review of an artist's take on the history of tuberculosis, the right article targeting the politics of fertility funding. I love the variety of sci-comm work and I've self-funded myself through two Masters degrees to access interesting projects both at work and within my spare time.
