Louise Mayor

Before joining Physics World in 2010 as features editor, I did a PhD in dye-sensitized solar cells at the University of Nottingham. While doing night shifts at synchrotrons was perversely quite fun, I now get to learn about different areas of cutting-edge research as I help physicists and science writers to communicate their stories in the magazine. On the physicsworld.com blog I write about whatever tickles my fancy, be it painful physics punnery or Einstein, the world’s smallest horse. At evenings and weekends I can be found playing board games and making stuff out of yarn.
