Writing & Media

I'm an astrophysicist at the University of Cambridge and an award-winning science communicator. I write and present science across YouTube, broadcast, festivals, and social media, reaching audiences of millions.

As a writer for PBS Space Time my scripts have been viewed by over ten million people. As a presenter and creator I reach a combined social audience of around 85,000.

Scripts for PBS Space Time

I pitch and write scripts for PBS Space Time, one of the world's leading science channels, with more than three million subscribers. Beyond scripting, I contribute graphic-effects notes and production review, shaping how the most exciting ideas in physics are visualised and explained on screen.
