Journalist, writer and editor
I have written science, technology, international development, business and travel articles for almost 20 years. More recently my focus has moved to global health.
I've written for newspapers, science, business and medical publications from The Lancet to the WHO Bulletin, The Economist, British Medical Journal, BBC News, Guardian, Intellectual Property Watch and Nature.
I am available for freelance commissions and will write features, white papers, supplements, reports and copy for internal magazines and websites.
