Science Communication

I am a practitioner-led science communicator, writing at the intersection of research and the public sphere. With a grounding in archaeology and palaeontology in Africa – and openness to wider science stories – my work interprets how scientific claims are produced, contextualised, and communicated. Rather than amplifying breakthroughs, I aim to translate research without flattening it, offering readers a more informed and critical way of engaging with scientific claims.

Editorial lens

My science communication work is shaped by a close interest in how research is actually done – the methods, questions, uncertainties, and contexts that sit behind published results. Rather than focusing only on headline findings, I’m drawn to the slower, less visible aspects of scientific work that often reveal how knowledge is built over time.

This means paying attention to process as much as outcome: how claims are shaped by evidence, how results remain provisional or contested, and how place, people, and research culture influence what we come to know. I’m interested in sharing the kinds of scientific stories that don’t always make headlines, but which invite curiosity, reflection, and a more textured understanding of science.
