Interests
I have a background in genetics and have recently completed an MSc in science communication at Imperial College.
I am particularly interested in finding fun and interesting ways to educate young people about genetics and assisted reproduction and to promote a better understanding of the social and ethical implications of these technologies.
Projects
I am currently involved in developing the 2008 schools packs for Jeans for Genes (http://www.jeansforgenes.com), a UK charity which raises funds to help children with genetic disorders.
