David Bradley Science Writer

I am a well-seasoned, and occasionally well-oiled, freelance science writer with a passion for communicating complex scientific ideas in what I'm told is an engaging and accessible way. I've written for a wide range of papers, magazines, organisations, and websites over the years and have won several awards for my writing. If the subject warrants it, I will always try to add what I hope is a little Geordie wit and charm. You can be the judge of whether I'm successful with that or not.

Early in my career, I specialised in chemistry and related areas for the likes of New Scientist, Science, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, and numerous trade magazines. I also set up the first popular science news webzine in 1995 and worked on the first online scientific conference. Since then, I have covered most areas of science and technology for a wide range of outlets. I have also developed and run website for a range of organisations.

I write on many different subjects on my site, including aspects of science, photography, and nature. Most recently, I have focused on combining my interest in wildlife photography and cutting-edge research from the natural world.

I'm also an active musician, performing with a gigging band, a community choir, a theatrical band, and occasionally solo, as well as writing and recording my own music and working with different collaborators. I produced the Clive-upon-Sea album "Fragments". I write about the musical part of my life on my blog too.
