It may be no surprise to you all that I like to write about the science I do, in order to raise awareness of the needs of amphibians and reptiles. As a scientist I feel we have a duty to help disseminate scientific information in a format that everybody can understand. Science communication is the main way as scientists/researchers we can help bridge the gap between our own work and the understanding of society. In order to do this I blog to inform the general public about science in general, with a few opinion pieces based on my own knowledge and experience. I also appear on a number of podcasts in order to help reach different audiences that may not be as confident reading a blog. Below is a list of some of these blogs and other pieces I have authored that aren't hosted by any of the sites in the 'Science Communication' sidebar.

During my Master's Degree, I started writing articles about conservation for the student newspaper, Felix. These articles were a mix of success stories as well as underappreciated conservation efforts that the average reader may not be aware of. This weekly column was called 'Connect with Conservation' for obvious reasons, and thanks to the wonders of the digital age, you can find all of my articles at the link below. During my PhD at the University of Kent, I also wrote a similar column for InQuire, the University of Kent student newspaper. Both of these experiences helped me shape information in a way that could be accessible to the general ready, while also explaining more complex topics.
