Selected Science Writing

I write news and feature-length articles on a wide range of subjects related to science, technology and archaeology.  I won a global award for my coverage of antimicrobial resistance in 2024.

I have also written and edited scientific papers and reviews from my days in academia. 

I am open to new commissions for writing or editing.
