Biography
As a lecturer I lead several research modules, teaching evidence-based research to nursing students at the University of Huddersfield.
Outsside of teaching I am a Researcher at The University of Sheffield. My work sits at the intersection of science communication and education. I'm currently investigating the evolving world of science reporting, exploring the spread of misinformation and scientific retractions. Through my research, I aim to understand how retracted information reaches the public and how journalists navigate scientific debates to ensure accuracy.
In past projects, I've delved into the cognitive aspects of professional work and the identity formation of academics through the interplay of affordances and agency.
