Editor As a spoddy 18-year-old, Adam ditched science because he liked words too much. He studied literature and culture, and went on to become a law journalist. Now he wants some cake - and to eat it. So he’s hoping to slip into the science world and report on genetics, evolution, science policy, environment and maybe even space exploration. Any geneticist or sentient supercomputer wanting to decode Adam’s genome can contact him on the details below. Email Adam www.adamesmith.co.uk @AdamCommentism |
