Biography

Greg is an award-winning TV & Radio Science Presenter & Producer, popular Keynote Speaker, experienced Events Host, long-time YouTuber, and… hybrid athlete?!

If you’re looking for him he’ll likely be investigating the bold marketing claims of a trending ‘wonder product’ for his popular BBC Radio 4 show & podcast “Sliced Bread”, or sharing consumer tips about those on BBC Morning Live.

If not, then he may be off on another science adventure to incredible labs around the world (he recently returned from the Amazon Rainforest), or – most likely – he’ll be competing in a hybrid fitness race (he recently won Silver at the HYROX European Championships!)

Greg has been making science content on TV, Radio, YouTube, Podcast, & Stage for close to 20 years (gulp!):

​> from ​investigative documentaries on TV, Radio & Podcasts,
> to ambitious interactive live shows for families on YouTube,
​> to eye-catching experiments on live TV,
> and engaging keynotes & spectacular science shows.

​A scientist by training (first class degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University), Greg regularly provides Science Communication training and hosts multiple awards & STEM conferences. He is also the Creative Director of digital-first production studio sciencemedia.studio and an Emeritus Public Engagement Fellow for The Wellcome Trust.
