Me.jpg

Neurophilosophy is a weblog about molecules, minds and everything in between. I aim to produce well-written and easily accessible articles about all aspects of neuroscience, so that I might help to improve public understanding of it. This blog has been featured for two consecutive years in the Open Lab annual anthologies of the best science blogging: The Discovery of the Neuron was featured in Open Lab 2006 and An Illustrated History of Trepanation in Open Lab 2007. Read more of my best posts, and some of the things people have said about this blog.

I graduated from UCL in 1998, with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Neuroscience. After graduating, I began a Ph.D. in the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology at Guy's Hospital, but left two years later without completing it. Subsequently, I obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Kingston University, and for a short time afterwards taught science to 11-16 year-olds at a secondary school in South London, before deciding that I wanted to return to doing neuroscience research. I am currently studying for a Masters in neuroscience at UCL and am now working on a research project in the Wellcome Laboratory for Molecular Pharmacology. Afterwards, I plan to obtain a Ph.D., and to combine research with science writing.
