Writing about science

For over a decade, Nicola has woven scientific evidence, humour and passion together to create communications that are educational, engaging and accessible. Her work has helped inform the public as well as industry and policy-makers.

Before becoming a freelance writer, Nicola worked for many years as a conservation biologist. She has conducted fieldwork in remote and challenging landscapes – from Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest to Australia’s Coral Sea.

These days, Nicola works full time for the University of the West of England, writing as much as she can in her spare time.

“Working with Nicola has been a pleasure from start to finish. Not only is she a talented writer, excellent interviewer and exceptionally accurate in her work, but her genuine interest and excitement about science is evident in everything she writes.”

~ Dr. Philippa Bayley, Manager of The Cabot Institute

“She’s an amazing writer, full of creativity and wit that engages the reader.”
