CURRENT MISSION

To understand how the world works a little better

ABOUT ME

I'm an anthropologist/geek hybrid, studying for a PhD at UCL in the creation of digital mapping technologies with and for indigenous hunter-gatherers in the Congo and Amazon Basins.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life by the good advice in Rudyard Kipling's If, Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot and Baz Lurhmann's Sunscreen Song.
