I am seeking (and regularly available for) fact checking of scripts and consultation for natural history and science documentaries and programmes on an hourly basis.My expertise is in earth science, especially volcanoes, natural geohazards (earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis), ocean science and exploration, geology, and planetary geoscience. My regular job is as a volcanologist, geologist, science communicator and podcast host. I have actively worked on volcano/earth science documentaries for BBC Earth, NOVA-PBS, Discovery, UKTV and Channel 5 (both on-camera and in research and production), and have also fact-checked scripts through production to ensure accuracy with historical and contemporary scientific literature.I have a strong appreciation for the balance between delivering exciting, engaging, truthful narratives about our dynamic planet, whilst ensuring scientific accuracy, and reducing misinformation or oversensationalism. I can quickly digest new narratives and scientific information to ensure accuracy of a script with the general scientific consensus by sourcing the appropriate published scientific data, for rapid turnaround of scripts.I am based primarily in Bristol, can operate remotely, but am prepared to travel between Cardiff, Bristol and London as needed. I operate on an invoiced hourly basis for consultation and fact-checking at all stages of research and production. Read Less
