We are very excited to announce that from May 12th we will be working with the very talented science communicator, James Piercy who will be based in Norwich to cater for schools in East Anglia and beyond.


James has a first degree in chemistry (our first Chemist!) and he has since completed a Masters in science communication. He has spent the past 12 years working in science communication, developing and presenting exhibitions, workshops and science shows for schools and families.

James has made numerous television appearances and given presentations at science festivals across the UK.  During his career James has entertained tens of thousands of people, from nursery groups to chartered accountants. He is particularly interested in the use of stories and humour as tools to engage with audiences.

His first love is talking to people face to face and sharing his enthusiasm for the quirky and unexpected side of science. If you want to see his eyes light up, ask him about self-peeling bananas or the man with a hole in his stomach!

We are delighted to welcome James to the team and look forward to reaching a lot further East than we have been able to do so far!
