Ginny Smith

Ginny works as a freelance science writer and presenter, which gives her the opportunity to share her love of science with a wide range of audiences. Since graduating from Queens’ College, Cambridge she has developed a range of science shows about the brain.  She has performed at science festivals including Cheltenham and Cambridge, to school groups and to adult audiences around the country and internationally. She loves to present science on screen and on the radio, having worked with the Naked Scientists, Cambridge TV, and the Cosmic Shambles network. She also writes science articles for a general audience and is a regular author for DK’s science books including 'How the Body Works', and ‘How Food Works’.

Ginny’s teaching style is highly interactive and engaging and wherever possible she relates to audiences’ real life experiences in her sessions. She uses hands-on activities and demos to help her students understand the quirks of their brains better.
