BBC science writer

William is the Editor of BBC Storyworks Programme Partnerships, a science writer for BBC Future, has been on staff at The Times and Sunday Times, and has written for Quartz and Monocle.

William writes about sport, culture, health and design, but has a particular interest in relationship psychology. Asking why we fall in love, gaslight, ghost, get the ick, and a multitude of other dating behaviours, he searches for the science behind attraction. You can read his column for the BBC on relationship psychology, Laws of Attraction, here.

Some of his other interests include...

…interviewing enthusiasts who believe a long-extinct species of wolf still lives in remote mountains in Japan, speaking to “expert talkers” (people who use language to save lives and respond to emergencies) and investigating the complex effects of rising sea levels on farmers in Bangladesh.

He has also presented radio packages for the BBC on psychology, design and technology.
