Jennifer Green
After graduating with a degree in Zoology from the University of Leeds, I decided to pursue a career in Science Journalism and enrolled on a masters course at City University, London. Now half way through the year, I have specialised in filming, editing and producing news programmes, documentaries and web content. My long term dream is to work producing wildlife documentaries, but I'm also interested in creating marketing clips for company websites.
Laura Husband
I am a science journalist with a particular focus on how science affects society today. I am especially interested in the interaction between the science of climate change and politics. I am also passionate about health issues and psychology. I have a wide-ranging knowledge in this particular area, with theoretical and practical experience. I have studied all domains of psychology, worked with individuals suffering from mental health issues and helped young people find a way to solve a variety of emotional problems.

I write about things I find fascinating (selfishly!) but do not claim to be an expert on any one subject - so welcome your opposition, agreement, corrections and comments.
