Alex is a globetrotting scientist who specialises in preventing diseases for people living in the remotest parts of the planet. Alex spent her formative years living in Iran, Africa and Outer Mongolia, where she had many exotic pets including a chimpanzee, two owls, a couple of giant land tortoises and also a bat. She has climbed the tallest tree in the Benin rainforest, hunted for dinosaur skeletons in the Gobi desert and escaped a civil war in Iran (in a pram pushed by her mother).
She has worked as an environmental scientist in Outer Mongolia, played with mechanical engineering with a brief stint at Williams F1, built roads in Chicago and has now returned to her first love, the environment. She completed her PhD in Environmental Health in 2008
Alex loves to talk so can be seen on TV from time to time talking about science and is yet to be fazed by a frantic radio interviewer calling time on her chat. If you’d like Alex to come on your Television or Radio show please give her a bell on the number above.
Great writing! I want to see a follow up on this topic…
why thank you.
It is so refreshing to find someone with education, talent and youth interested in the marginalized and poor of the world and spend precious years being of help and sharing life with the ones left behind by the technological progress. Like your fun and uplifting stories, keep up that curious and generous attitude, we all need more of it.
What a lovely comment. Thank you
