Biographical Note
Kevin believes that science and technology are more interesting when seen in the context of everyday experience. Through science, we make sense of the world around us. Through technology, we enrich our lives. But before we can understand the effect of a new development, we must be able to see it in our minds' eyes.Kevin Cudby specialises in helping readers to visualise the impact of new innovations. He describes them in everyday language; he writes engaging stories about their impact; he shows how they help meet the challenges of everyday life; he illustrates how they affect our future.
Kevin's writing skills emerged from a fifteen-year career as an electronics design and manufacturing engineer. To enhance his ability to communicate about science and technology, he completed a degree in Strategic Communication in the late 1990s. He then spent two years at Industrial Research Limited, where he ran an extensive internal web site (over 300 pages) and regularly contributed to the internal magazine.
As well as his regular magazine features and corporate work, Kevin has written about diverse scientific subjects including materials physics, biochemistry, ornithology.
A keen salt-water angler, he is deeply concerned about human impacts on the global environment. Because of this, he is particularly interested in the ways that science and technology create opportunities to mitigate the negative effects of human activity upon the biosphere.
