I am currently a Senior Lecturer in Physiology at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School (UK). I received my Bachelor's degree in Physics from Columbia University, my Ph.D. in Physiology from the University of California at Berkeley, and was a Resarch Fellow and Senior Research Fellow at the Medical School in Bristol (UK).  I am often invited to give lectures at multinational corporations, prestigious academic institutions and government regulatory bodies including Pfizer, Novartis, Harvard and the MHRA (Institute of Directors, London).  In 2003 I was a Visiting Professor at the University of Florence, Italy, and in 2004 I received the national honour of being awarded by the British Association for the Advancement of Science The Charles Darwin Award Lecture. 
I also consult and lecture in the business and legal community on topics concerning communication, assessment and education.  My writings on these topics have appeared nationally in The Financial Times, The Times Higher Educational Supplement and the Times Educational Supplement.  I provide training, facilitation, and workshops on a host of communication topics to groups as wide ranging as the national annual conference of the Solicitors’ Family Law Association (now called Resolution) and Birmingham Futures.
