  • Covered a wide range of stories for the BBC, including from Iraq, and the London and Madrid bombings

  • Most memorable and emotional interview was with former astronaut, Jeff Hoffman who worked in space in 1993 to repair the Hubble Space telescope when it was found to have dodgy vision

Science in Action is a fantastic programme to work on, because of the number of topics that we get to cover. We talk to the top people in areas from dinosaurs to stem cells, future cars to climate change, and everything in between.
