About
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. I also hold a M.Sc. in the same subject from the same institution and started, but did not complete, a Ph.D. at the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurobiology. I obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Kingston University in 2005, and subsequently taught science to 11-16 year-olds at a secondary school in South London for a short time. I now work as a freelance science writer specializing in neuroscience. My work has been published in Seed Magazine, The Scientist, Technology Review and on the Scientific American Mind Matters website
