About the Author
The author obtained his higher education at the University of London, the institution where Rosalind Franklin undertook her pioneering work into the structure of DNA. It was also whilst at university Jon cut his writing teeth, editing his college newspaper.
Jon graduated in 1997 and, after a period working for the American oil giant ExxonMobil, became a full-time writer in summer 2001. Science is his first full-length non-fiction text. Jons first novel is also nearing completion. His other published work includes poetry, as well as celebrity, science and travel features. The twenty-nine year old now lives in Surrey, England with his partner. Aside from writing, his passions are both playing and watching soccer, and travelling.
