Jake Wilkinson

Jake graduated from the University of Manchester with an integrated masters in Chemistry with honours.

Due to his two left hands the practical side of science never appealed to him, instead he focused his studies on the field of science communication. His degree, combined with his previous experience in the promotion and marketing of events, meant a career in science marketing was a no-brainer.

In his spare time Jake enjoys keeping up with new music, reading anything he can get his hands on and going on the occasional run.
