Biography
I'm a professor of psychology and science communication at Bath Spa University. My research looks at the behavioural and wellbeing effects of playing video games, and I’m also interested in metascientific issues regarding best practice in digital technology effects research. I’m also a science writer, with articles featured in New Scientist, Science Focus, the Guardian, the Observer, the New York Times, WIRED, the Telegraph, and more. For five years I was the Guardian’s science blog network coordinator, and I’ve been a science consultant for BBC’s Horizon.
