Currently running Saturday Skypecasts on science journalism as part of a tutoring course with the World Federation of Science Journalists, www.wfsj.org. Mentoring reporters in Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria (or is it the other way around, and they're mentoring me?) Edited three very irritating books on media studies this year, and have a book on 10 ways to get and stay healthy, meant for kids throughout Africa, being published probably at the end of the year by Heinemann.
My February 2008
Feb 8 to 10 In Doha, Qatar for World Federation of Science Journalism mentoring programme
Feb 14 In the Boland for a mean tennis party

Don't worry, I do the same all the time!
Cheers!!
Did you get my message about the space thing? I can't go, but transport etc all arranged, so I can send Ken. is that ok? He's just trying to see if he can get a train home because he's playing in a gig on Wednesday evening
And I thought it was at the end of November. It's next week!
Either way... can leave by 2ish. Sound ok?
I'm going to be editing the Research HIghlights section of Nature for a while. Should be awesome. A good chance for me to work on skills that I haven't yet had to develop: laying out, editing, pushing myself to break out a more from my biological comfort zone.
Do you ever come to London?
