SCIENCE WRITER, BROADCASTER, AUTHOR

I am an award-winning science writer and broadcaster. In my role as producer/presenter of RNZ's science programme Our Changing World (2005-2016) I have told hundreds of stories about science and its social relevance and impact. During my 15 years with RNZ, I have worked in news, the parliamentary gallery, for current affairs programmes and in spoken features, on air and online.

Apart from my work as a science broadcaster, I have contributed to other publications, including the NZ Listener, NZ Geographic, Deutsche Welle, and the ABC. I have written seven books and developed exhibitions, most recently focusing on climate change research in Antarctica. My work has earned several grants and awards, including the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union's best documentary prize and the Elsie Locke Award for non-fiction. My book, Science on Ice, was a finalist for the 2013 Royal Society of New Zealand Science Book Prize.
