I used to work in a laboratory as a cell biologist and I have a PhD in genetics. I spent many years working as a science journalist and have written for lots of magazines and journals, including Nature, The Lancet, The Scientist, Scientific American Mind, BBC Focus and others. You can check out my science writing HERE and on Twitter.

One of the picture books I am currently creating is about cells, the other books are fiction.

Science picture books I love:

• Here We Are - Oliver Jeffers

• Ada Twist, Scientist - Andrea Beaty and David Roberts

• Rosie Revere Engineer - Andrea Beaty and David Roberts

• Life - Cynthia Rylant and Brendan Wenzel

• Pluto Gets The Call - Adam Rex and Laurie Keller
