Ben Martynoga

Ben Martynoga is a biologist and science writer. After a decade in the lab exploring the insides of brain cells, he swapped his white coat for a pen. Since then he has written about everything from the latest tech innovations to re-wilding, running, stress, creativity, microbes and the history of science. Always aiming to make scientific research as clear and relevant as possible, he publishes and edits books, articles, blogs, videos and podcasts. He loves talking about science — and why it matters — with children and adults alike at science festivals, in classrooms or anywhere else. His writing appears in The Guardian, New Statesman, The i, the Financial Times and beyond. He lives, works, wanders and wonders (often all at once) in the Lake District.
