School/Degree	Birkbeck College London, PhD in Molecular and Computational Immunology. University of Surrey, BSc in Chemistry
When you joined The Scientist	March 2005
Job Description	Coming up with new ideas to make The Scientist better online, running the technical team and writing code when I can.
Job related interests/achievements	A few years ago I built the site for the International premiere of the James Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" but obviously I've moved on to better things since then! Winning a Fulbright Fellowship back in my days as a scientist.
Favorite book	"Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson
Favorite website	The BBC especially for the ability to listen to Radio 4 when I'm in the USA to get my weekly fix of "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue".
Favorite gadget	A vintage Meridian CD Player... built like a battleship and sounds lovely.
