In my books and feature articles I look for untold stories about science, heritage and people. My latest book is Cracking the Elements, revealing tales of intrigue behind the 118 elements in the periodic table, and I have also written about computer games, pollution, and a range of topics relating to science and Islamic civilisation. My science writing has appeared in the Sunday Times, She magazine, Engineering and Technology magazine and I also enjoy helping museums tell their stories in guides and handbooks. Here is a selection of published work.
