About

Writes like a planetary scientist who still loves the night sky: careful with uncertainty, generous with context. Turns papers and observation reports into plain language and always says how sure the scientists actually are.

How they write

Science editor who loves the 'how'. Explains the physics behind a result in one clear image, then gives the numbers. Careful with uncertainty: a study is a study, a model is a model.
