My Brief Biog
I grew up in Cambridge and studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University. In 1984, while studying for a PhD in Psychology, I joined the Green Party and was involved in starting and running a University green group.
I then trained as a teacher and taught in state secondary schools for 14 years with a variety of roles including head of science and senior teacher. Currently I’m a research fellow at the University of Birmingham. I mainly conduct research in postgraduate medical education.
I live in Leamington Spa with my partner for the last 25 years. Our two children attended local state schools.
I’ve been active in local green politics for over 20 years. I’ve grave concerns about conventional economics and government’s inadequate response to climate change. Put simply, the throw-away society is not making people any happier, healthier or richer and is destroying our economy and environment. I’ve given many talks on the science of climate change and welcome the opportunity to debate this important topic in public. I’m confident that the people and companies of the UK would avert dangerous climate change if only our politicians had the courage to face up to reality.
