Independent scientist, film maker, author, public speaker and expedition guide. Get in touch to work with me.

Based in Plymouth, UK

I am an independent scientist, filmmaker and expedition guide. A former Royal Society university research fellow, my interests lie in how we influence the plankton food web from climate change to 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.

"Your paper was outstanding. Many delegates have said how much they enjoyed your presentation and the conference questionnaire responses clearly confirm this."
