Popular science writing
My science writing is online on my former blog, My Growing Passion. These are some of my favourite pieces.
The Evolution of Chloroplasts: endosymbiosis and horizontal gene transfer.
Winner of the 2010 3 Quarks Daily's Charm Quark Prize in Science, judged by Richard Dawkins.
When Plants Parasitise Fungi: myco-heterotrophy
Saltmarsh: regeneration of an endangered habitat
My nature photography can be found on Flickr.
