Award-Winning Science Communication

Before I got my start as a freelance journalist, I completed an MSc in neuroscience at University College Cork in Ireland. I became interested in learning how to communicating science to anyone, whether they’re young children or older adults. I won science communication competitions and participated in stand-up comedy events along the way to hone my skills.

Take a look at some of the organizations I’ve worked with, and check out my videos below. I am always open to helping other budding scientists and organizations hone their science communication skills.

Testimonials

Ridiculously creative is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Simon. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Simon at APC Microbiome Ireland, during which time he brought his unique flare to several science communication and public engagement projects. When it comes to communicating complex scientific concepts, I’m consistently impressed by Simon’s originality, creativity and credibility. From poems to parodies, blogs to stand-up comedy, Simon always delivers a great performance. Never short of a good cup of coffee and a hilarious racoon story, working with Simon is always enjoyable.
