Work with ABi
I'm open to any work that uses my skills to communicate about and/or accelerate action on the climate & nature emergencies. This includes, but is not limited to:
Workshops & TalksLooking for opportunities to learn about the threats to our world and what we can do? I can provide tailored workshops and presentations.

WritingNeed new educational content? Interested in the perspectives of scientists, educators or activists? Let me know!
|
Research & FactcheckingStruggling to make sense of complex scientific, statistical or regulatory information? I might be able to help you!

I will be adding some more examples of my work here in due course. In the meantime you can browse and download some factsheets and infographics that might be useful to you via the button below
Rates
I operate as a sole trader and my (negotiable) rates will vary depending on the nature of work requested. If you are a grassroots, community or charitable organisation looking for support, I'm open to working for a discounted rate.
For work outside of York I will require rail fares to be covered.
Please email me or use the contact form to discuss projects, prices and rates.

Scientific research
In the recent past I was a full time lab-based scientist. I started out as a PhD student in 2010, focussing on the molecular biology of infectious diseases, with a particular focus on how malaria parasites invade, take over and destroy red blood cells. You can see some of my videos of that process in action here.

In 2020 I made a transition out of medical microbiology, aiming to apply the research skills I'd learned to an area more directly linked to the climate and nature emergencies and how we might address them. I moved to York to study cyanobacteria, the organisms that 'invented' photosynthesis as we know it. They play hugely important roles in global carbon cycling, aquatic ecosystems and healthy soils, and yet there's so much about their biology we still don't understand. My work was to create resources that would help unlock our understanding of their biology. Those resources, insights and methods are openly available via our preprint, lab website and data repository.
