Doctor Stu's Blog
I love seeing the science; whether it is why we find ‘that special person’ attractive or which is the best biscuit to dunk in a cup of tea. This blog is all about examining life with a scientific slant.
Life and Work
I originally trained as a medical doctor (graduating from Nottingham Uniersity in 2005) and more recently have taken up a career in teaching. I now work at Wiltshire College in the UK, teaching science and health sciences. I have experience in specialist medical writing, and regularly write science and health articles for a variety of magazines and newspapers. In addition to being editor for the newly launched Guru magazine (see below), I have experience in TV presenting and have made a variety of appearances on Radio 5 Live shows.

I’ve been privileged to be part of a small team who have recently launched a brand new digital magazine designed to make science more engaging and interesting to a general reader. It’s called Guru, and you can find out more about it here.

Science Mag from Dr Stu:
Your blog is just great, Stu! I really enjoyed reading about your aerial adventure, though the thought of a tracheotomy with a biro leaves me with a rather nasty feeling!!
Will look forward to more in the same enjoyable and informative style.
