Bryony is a freelance journalist based in the UK. After working in science PR for five years (including at the Royal Society) she decided to take the plunge into journalism. She’s interested in all areas of science - her PR career saw her cover topics like conservation, decarbonisation, scientific events and prizes, and even women’s health. But stories about the natural world really make her heart sing.
She has a Master’s degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare from Queen’s University Belfast as well as a Bachelor’s in the same field from the University of Plymouth. She will be studying an NCTJ from September 2026 while freelancing alongside it.
