Nan King
I am Nan; a 26 year old Yorkshire-ling. I graduated with a BA in Human Sciences from Oxford in 2006 and since then have lived, worked and travelled in various parts of the world.I am part-time content editor of the charity support website knowhownonprofit.org, and am currently studying for a Masters in Science Journalism, to be completed in June this year.
I get excited by evolution, anthropology, sociology, psychology, genetics, health, neuroscience....etc etc. Find me on twitter - @nanhannah
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.
