Dr Christian Jarrett BSc MSc PhD FRSA
I’m a writer/editor specialising in psychology and the neurosciences. My first book, co-written with Joannah Ginsburg, is due out later this year (see cover on the right).
I work full-time for the British Psychological Society as inaugural editor/writer of their Research Digest blog and I’m staff journalist on their magazine The Psychologist, for which I write monthly news, conference reports and features. Recent feature-length articles include Is there a psychologist in the building? and The Chemical Brain.
Freelance work:
I also work freelance in my spare time. Past clients include: New Scientist (feature article), Psychologies magazine (columnist), BioMedNet (expert research reporter), BBC Focus magazine (book reviewer), The Psychological Testing Centre (writer), The Centre For Affective Sciences (writer), the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences (news writer and copyeditor), Unilever (conference reporter), the Mind Hacks book and blog (contributing author), the British Neuroscience Association (columnist), and most recently BioMed Central (blurb writer).
My qualifications and other information:
I obtained a first class degree in psychology from Royal Holloway University of London, graduating in 1999. Then I completed a MRC-funded MSc in Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College London, before moving to the University of Manchester (known then as UMIST) where I obtained an MRC-funded PhD in Sensorimotor Neuroscience. I published several academic papers during my PhD and short post-doc (email me for copies). I am a full member of the Association of British Science Writers and in November 2007 was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. I live near Brighton with my wife and cat. |
