In the words of the Pet Shop Boys, "Doctored in mathematics, I could have been a don" (yeah, right...) so instead I'm working in statistics (or I was, until 2014). Now I'm working in a University, but not as a don. 2017 update - I'm now working in statistics in a University (but still not as a don)!

Just think about the power of love: it generates beauty where others are too dull to see it. Love can make reality, see?

If you really want a job done properly, get over it - it won't be.

I have been a Sub-editor since 20 May 2013. By 30 May 2014 I had sub-edited 42 Entries - as at 31 May 2016 I have sub-edited 100 Entries! Congratulations to all the Researchers who have contributed to the Guide

In May 2014, I collected some more badges - I'm also a Scout and a Guide Editor, so alongside my esteemed colleagues, it is my privilege to see Entries through the system from Peer Review to Front Page!

On 31 May, 2019 I was awarded the 100 Edited Entries Badge!

I have met other h2g2 Researchers

I take part in Create Challenges
