Bio

I'm not on here very much, please contact me via my website (Deanburnett.com), Facebook Page or Twitter account. I wrote 'The Idiot Brain' and 'The Happy Brain', and have at least 3 more books in the works at time of posting this. I have a PhD in neuroscience and spent 7 years as lecture, tutor and administer the MSc Psychiatry distance learning programme for Cardiff university. From August 2012 to August 2018 I had my own dedicated blog on the Guardian.co.uk website, which currently averages 250,000 hits a month. I know do the same thing under a slightly different title for the Cosmic Shambles science network. I am regularly invited to do public speaking events, ranging from stand-up comedy to informative talks. I am also regularly contributing written or spoken contributions to media outlets like National Canadian Radio, BBC Focus or Psychologist magazines and numerous other platforms
