Historian, writer, broadcaster, comedian, curator

I’m a researcher and storyteller who looks at the relationship between science and society.

I specialise in the history and philosophy of science, particularly the history of scientific racism and eugenics, and what those histories mean for our lives today. For nine years, I was Curator of the Science Collections at University College London, where I was also Researcher in Critical Eugenics at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation. I’ve written and presented podcasts, curated museum exhibitions, done stand-up comedy and regularly appear on radio and tv. I’m now working on my first book.
