Josh is a science journalist and editor with a passion for narrative non-fiction stories. He is currently the Acting Head of Features at New Scientist magazine, the world’s top science weekly, and covers a broad range of science, including physics, chemistry, environment and archaeology. But his not-so-secret love is writing quirky stories, like this piece about reinventing the address, this on how to find tiny meteorites on your roof, and this on the joy of rockpooling.

Some things that Josh likes are: going to church and singing, rock climbing, session IPA, cheese and peanut butter sandwiches and swimming in the sea. He lives in London with his wife and two sons and he likes them quite a lot too.

Josh’s first book, The Meteorite Hunters, is out in the UK in February 2025, published by Oneworld. His literary agent is Elizabeth Sheinkman at Peters Fraser + Dunlop. (More on that here.)
