Science broadcaster and journalist

Social media

I create videos for my personal TikTok and Instagram and also present content for clients on their socials. In total, my videos have over 20 million views.

My videos turn complex scientific ideas into intriguing stories that make them accessible and entertaining. Inspired by the popular format of the podcast I present – CrowdScience – I also make videos answering unexpected science questions, like How much does the internet weigh? How did water arrive on Earth? Are we mature at 18?

The longest-running science experiment of all time. 3.5 million+ views.

This black block of pitch looks pretty solid, right? But actually, it can behave like a liquid because if you put pitch in a funnel, it drips out the bottom once every 10 years. Professor John Mainstone was very keen to see it. Here is the series of unfortunate, and almost unbelievable events that would mean Prof. Mainstone would sadly never get to see the pitch in action…😭 #fail #science #experiment #queensland #physics
