About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having a crisis about what to do with the rest of my life!

ABOUT ME

Did some travelling post-uni a while ago. It was great. Been a molecular biologist for the last 8 years. That's been less cool but still worthwhile. I dabble in a lot of stuff, most recently in ninja warrior training!

PHILOSOPHY
No fate but the narrative we impose on life's random chaos

Interests

Climbing, biking, skiing, jamming, coffee, photography and photoshoppe, cheese, coffee, skiing. Good books, good films and good food. Also terrible films. Coffee. Total petrolhead. If it has a motor or wheels then I will love it. To be honest stuff with moving parts is good enough.

Music, Movies, and Books

Back to the Future. Airplane. The Matrix. The Green Mile, Pan's Labyrinth

No-one rocks like AC/DC do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven from London to Ulaanbaatar in a 20 year old Nissan Micra with a 1 litre engine and 4 gears.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little about the Adobe programs, and photography. A know a fair amount about rock climbing and home mechanics. Would like to know more about all of the above, also piano. Oh, and I have a degree in molecular biology, so I really ought to know a thing or 2 about that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An insight into the life of a scientist working in Oxford, plus hilarious anecdotes
