Science Communication

In true science communicator fashion, I greatly enjoy writing for a non-academic audience. I am a contributor to Please keep to the path, an online conservation psychology resource reporting on classic and contemporary research in short and engaging ‘bytes’ (see my articles here). You can also check out my Publications and Research Summaries for examples of science communication of my own research.

I have my own science writing blog I post to occasionally (Lizard Tales), and I have also written/contributed to a few articles for online blogs and magazines:
