About Me
I am an author, journalist and TV producer, specialising in science and mathematics, the only two subjects I have the faintest clue about. My latest book is Trick or Treatment? Alternative Medicine on Trial, which I have co-authored with Edzard Ernst, the world’s first professor of complementary medicine
