By training a forensic anthropologist, but by passion a science communicator. I am happiest when I am in a creek, teaching 10 year olds how to catch crayfish and look for tardigrades, or in the desert, surrounded by dinosaur skeletons. I love to teach everything from entomophagy to exoplanets (or exoplanet-phagy, if you need a Science of Galactus talk). and I will happily speak about science anywhere that there's an interested audience: Sci-Fi conventions, Steampunk gatherings, Science in the Pub event, sometimes dressed as Batgirl.

When I am not talking about science professionally, I am... well, still talking about science. My main blog can be found atThis View of Life. I am also a contributor toMad Art Lab. Online, I can be found on Twitter as@Seelix, and my costume work can be found at Facebook.
