Harriet Bailey

After graduating as a mathemagician last year, Harriet has worked at the Science Media Centre and contributed to the Libel Reform Campaign with Sense about Science. She hopes to work in television and report on biochemistry, genetics and infectious diseases. Her numerological background means she’s obsessed with statistics and data visualisation. When not being a science journalist she can be found on her bike, thinking up puns and reading comics.
