I have previously worked at Nature, McKinsey & Company and The Economist. I studied at Imperial College, London and the University of Oxford, from where have a doctorate in neuroscience.
I was an early adopter of social media and am now an early abandoner, so you won't find me on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Snapchat, TikTok, Xitter or any of the others. I do have a Wikipedia page, but I don't check it and am not responsible for the content.
I'm based in London, UK, having previously lived in the US and Japan (ζ₯ζ¬θͺγεΊζ₯γΎγ).
