Science Writing
My first book has been described as 'a breath of fresh air... offering often overlooked insights into what gaming can indeed be about'. Powering up: are computer games changing our lives? is published by Wiley and available from bookshops or online at widely varying prices. The book examines the latest evidence into how computer games affect our health, thinking, learning, identity, beliefs, and propensity for violence or addiction. See my There.com interview about the book here, or download a Sunday Post article about the book here.
I started freelancing as a science writer while doing my degree in physics and masters in Science Communication at Imperial College London. I've written science and technology articles for the Sunday Times, Engineering and Technology Magazine, Flipside, She, Candis, Practical Parenting and even Sunday Times Travel (eh? well, it was about space tourism).
I also recently contributed to Futurelab's Vision magazine, writing about computer games and education.
I am a member of the Association of British Science Writers.
