Science communication is central to everything I do. Ongoing areas of focus are climate science, emerging technologies, digital health, and future media technologies. I like to experiment with new digital formats to reach out to new audiences, while also working with creative innovators to design extraordinary science communication experiences.
Check out The SciComm Space at Salford University, where a lot of my work is found.
“AI is perhaps the single most compelling technology in the world today, defining a new relationship between machines and biological life forms. My work here focuses on the ethical, legal, and social issues created by AI, from autonomous vehicles to robot doctors.”
“The Olympic Games is far more than just a sports event, it’s a vast social movement, a complex industrial community, a symbol of human evolution, and a transformative event, which has the capacity to redefine a place’s identity.”
“Virtual and augmented realities are rapidly changing the boundaries we create within our lives. How will we cope with a future in which much more of our time is spend in increasingly immersive worlds and what are the challenges we face living in such circumstances””
““The future of all sports is esports and many other industries are being completely transformed by this new design proposition.”
“Only rarely does a new technology come along and completely redefine our lives. The drone does this in ways that we have yet to fully comprehend.”
“Technological change in the 21st century may be the first point in human history when we have the potential to disrupt evolution, for better or worse. We need urgently to consider the ethical and moral issues this creates.”
