Biography

A chemical engineer by training, Tom obtained a master’s degree in Advanced Chemical Engineering from the University of Cambridge, where he conducted research into amyloid protein folding using fluorescent lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM). His overall grade of 71% for the course placed him third in the cohort. It was during his master's studies that Tom discovered journalism and science communication, which led him to write several articles on a broad range of topics including climate change, emerging technologies and astronomy. Since then, Tom has gone on to work as a contractual research paper editor, a PR Account Executive and a freelance journalist, before arriving at the European Southern Observatory in Germany as a science communication intern. Recently, Tom launched THE CLIMATE (www.theclimatenews.co.uk), a news platform covering developing climate change stories from around the planet. Today, THE CLIMATE has a dedicated team of over ten writers and a continually growing audience, which Tom coordinates as Editor-In-Chief.
