I am a plant scientist and bioinformatician with a career researching wheat and other grass crops. I am currently writing a popular science book Planet Grass: How one family of plants came to dominate Earth and feed humanity. 

Consultancy. I contribute to research proposals where I am funded if proposal is successful. My expertise is mostly in gene discovery in wheat and other grass crops. I have also built bioinformatic tools to help with this.
