I'm a Scottish creative science nerd obsessed with deep tech, good writing, Irn Bru and pi.

I write about science, tech and the broad cultural issues surrounding their advancements, with a focus on deep tech: biotech, agriculture, energy, space, health, quantum computing, AI - essentially anything that comes out of science labs and into the real world. I'm a science startup advisor - scouting them for funds, and helping them tell their stories. And I'm Co-Founder of Science: Disrupt, a media org connecting and showcasing those innovators, iconoclasts and entrepreneurs creating change in science.
