So thrilled to have written my first @gdnlongread on the incredible science and ethical complexity of caring for babies born on the very cusp of human viability:.

And thank you @davidedgarwolf @ClareLongrigg for helping to knock this piece into shape and being so sensitive and thoughtful along the way!.

Endless gratitude to the parents and the professionals who showed so much generosity in sharing their stories and their expertise - thank you so, so much: Alice, Jim, Jade, @DrCBattersby @NeoResearch_Net & so many others.

Really enjoyed interviewing @Gladwell for @guardian, got to chat about getting things wrong and tipping points and Harvard admissions tutors and parenthood and Trump and why Oxford and Cambridge should double in size. and more still

Having the rare experience of exchanging emails with someone who overuses exclamation marks even more than me! Two or even three where almost everyone would use a full-stop!!! The effect is so alarming!! Have I been doing this to people for years without even realising!!?.

Hello from Boston! Didn't get a chance to post about my final book review before I left the UK, loved writing for @thetimes about Marianne Power's rollicking new memoir

RT @NewStatesman: “Our teenage friendship groups can shape the kinds of people we become.”. 📖 Book of the Day: @SEMcBain .

Or examining a feminist retelling of our evolutionary origins:

Or a sceptical take on David Brooks's narrative of moral decline:

I also love reviewing non-fiction, with a focus on "the science of us" - whether that's a buzzy polyamory memoir:

Or this inside story from a motel in northern England that overnight became home to over a hundred Afghan refugees

And to work with new editors! I love writing ideas and character-driven features: like this longread on the the philosopher, the crypto king and the delusions of effective altruism

Some "personal news" - I have left @NewStatesman and am moving to Boston USA, where I'll be freelancing. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with such a brilliant, talented and generous team of colleagues - and I'll miss them all! But I'm also excited for new adventures.
