I'm an academic and science writer based in Oxford, England. I read physics at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, but my research interests nowadays are primarily in statistics, (especially Bayesian inference), probability and philosophical logic.

I also have an long-standing interest in the history of science, and science studies, and write on scientific issues for, among others, The Financial Times , New Scientist, BBC Focus and the online magazine The First Post [1].
