Along with teaching and research publications, communicating research to a wider audience is an important aspect of ensuring impact from what we do in academia. This page his links to some of the news or media items about my research or where I’ve been quoted.
Note, the PDF files here are for reference only as such news items have a tendency to disappear over time. I’ve been interviewed and quoted over 60 times in the media.
