About

I’m Anna Linda Demming, a freelance journalist and editor based in Bristol, specialising in science communication. Since 2010 I have written and edited for major outlets including The Guardian, The Observer, New Scientist, Physics World and Chemistry World, and I have experience in commissioning, editing and writing features, news and blogs across physics, chemistry and life sciences. I also work on science outreach projects and creative collaborations such as Aperiodic, a quantum-themed dance production, and I mentor early-career researchers in science communication.

I am passionate about making complex science accessible and engaging for diverse audiences, and I thrive in editorial environments that combine rigorous reporting with creative storytelling and outreach initiatives.
