I'm fascinated about why people don't change their minds when presented with facts.

I have a Masters in Communication from Deakin University and I'm currently conducting this research for my Masters of Science Communication at the Australian National University's Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.

I sometimes write about the science of communication on my blog.

I have been a professional communicator for various public sector organisations for almost 20 years and am currently the Director of Communications at the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources.

When I'm not learning, writing or working I play Lego and do science experiments with my two daughters, and lose at scrabble to my wife.

My cat Lonely likes to bring live mice into the house for me to catch. Usually after I've had a couple of glasses of wine.
