I write environment, sustainability, and policy opinion pieces, and science journalism articles. Alongside my academic career I stumbled into writing, first via the superb The Conversation where I began talking about my research, then research interests, then anything that took my interest. This led onto articles for The Ecologist, The Guardian, The Independent, The i and many others. I am currently writing a book that tells the story of how humans built a planetary-scale civilisation they do not actually control.
