Science is more than a discipline for me, it’s an immensely positive and rewarding way to comprehend the world. I want to share with others my passion for science and the cool, interesting and useful things science comes up with. To that end, I’m studying Science Communication at Imperial College in London (check out My Student Life, linked right). At your fingertips are a few examples of my attempts at understanding and communicating science…
Your world is a toxic, black hole details the drama of my Honours research.
The Scientist’s Dilemma is one of my most popular science posts to date, focusing on the notion that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Time for me to check what you are up to and discussing. The thoughts on teaching touched me. You got lucky being raised by two caring teachers. My thoughts are based more around the need to care first, then present the lessons later. If relationships work, the rest will follow. Keep up the good work. Does the science museum need another teacher – one with an Australian accent?
