Interests

In 2011 I joined the multi award-winning Naked Scientists team (http://www.thenakedscientists.com), who are based at the University of Cambridge where they produce science and medicine radio programmes and podcasts that are broadcast internationally, including UK-wide on the BBC.

Thanks to a Wellcome Trust Society award, and in partnership with the British Neuroscience Association, we are developing "Naked Neuroscience", a travelling science stage show and podcast that will target schools and the general public, taking audiences on a journey through the brain.

I also volunteer with the local mental health and social inclusion charity Squeaky Gate (http://www.squeakygate.org.uk/) and can be found flocking like a bird (a form of dance) at Squeaky Gate workshops.
