I am a presenter on various science and nature shows on BBC radio and podcasts including The Naked Scientists & BBC Radio 4′s Home Planet.

Here are links to some of the shows I’ve been on and particular things I’ve said (visit the Naked Scientists website to download podcasts of other shows I’ve been in).

Madagascar’s mystery solved?

How did Madagascar’s extraordinary mammals – the lemurs – arrive on this isolated island adrift in the Indian Ocean? Here’s my news story on the Naked Scientists about how scientists may have found the answer.

Case of fishy mistaken identity

Find out why taxonomy matters in my news story on the Naked Scientists about white marlin which could be in even more trouble than previously thought.

 

The wierd shape of hammerheads

Jellyfish stir things up

Do jellyfish mix up the oceans with their pulsing movements? Listen to my short news story on the Naked Scientists to find out.

 

Life in a salty bath

Listen to me on the Naked Scientists answering a listener’s question about how marine mammals like dolphins and seals control their salt intake while living in a giant salty bath.

 

Serial killer sharks

What have Great White Sharks and human serial killers got in common? Listen to my news story on the Naked Scientists to find out.

Naked Oceans

A one hour special aquatic edition of The Naked Scientists featuring my picks from past shows, including squid that see along their entire body, the lessons we learn from the humming toadfish and why Nemo might soon need help finding his way home.

Home Planet

Listen to my latest appearance in January 2010 on BBC Radio 4′s Home Planet programme which answers listeners questions about the Earth and our impact on it. In this episode we look at controversial plans for the Severne Barrage and how fish see out of water.

And another episode from December 2009, where we mulled over the idea of whether anything in the oceans has evolved to digest the mountains of plastic waste that end up there every year.
