Josh is a postdoctoral research associate and science communicator in the School of Chemistry at the University of Leicester. He also happens to be an accomplished baker and reached the final of the 14th series of The Great British Bake Off.

Being equally at home in the laboratory and the kitchen, in 2024 Josh founded the Science Kitchen at the University of Leicester, where he brings together the worlds of science and baking to deliver lectures, demonstrations and videos to enthuse the public and inspire the next generation of scientists.

As a science communicator Josh has developed shows to present at venues including the Royal Institution, Cheltenham & Edinburgh Science Festivals and at New Scientist Live. He has also hosted ‘Science of Baking’ webinars with the likes of the Royal Society of Chemistry, written for the New Scientist, co-authored 3 food science books with Dorling Kindersley and frequently delivers talks at schools and universities.
