REVIEWING I review articles for Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Human Nature, Personality and Individual Differences, Psychological Science, The Journal of Evolutionary Psychology, The Journal of Experimenal Social Psychology, PIMMS, The British Journal of Psychology and Evolution & Human Behavior, and have reviewed book chapters for several publishers.

PUBLIC DISSEMINATION OF RESEARCH Direct outreach – I am regularly invited to deliver talks to schools, colleges and wide audiences (e.g. Café Scientifique). These talks are popular and are designed to engage teenagers and adults with the disciplines of Psychology and Zoology and with empirical research in general Media - I have been involved in disseminating research through the media in a variety of ways. I have been interviewed by many national and regional radio stations, and by BBC Breakfast news, regarding recent publications and have also been interviewed by British and international newspaper journalists. I have been involved in collaborating with both BBC and Channel 4 science programs to run facial perception experiments for the public and have appeared on several television programmes discussing facial attraction.
