Based in Plymouth, UK
I am an independent scientist, filmmaker and expedition scientist/guide. A former Royal Society university research fellow, my interests are the plankton food web and how we influence it by climate change and plastic pollution, and communicating this to the public. I have created plankton exhibitions around the world, worked with international fashion designers, and I founded the global, citizen science Secchi Disk study. Buy my Ocean Drifters book for you or your child, watch the Ocean Drifters film to hear David Attenborough describe my secret world, or join the Secchi Disk study if you go to sea.
