Are you trans, non-binary or gender nonconforming and aged 15-24?

I’m looking for participants for my PhD study into the social groups and hobbies that young trans people take part in. If you’re interested, click the link below!

I'm doing my first live science show of 2025 on Tuesday, performing Amazing Animals at Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity with Braintastic! Science.

It's also my first show since testosterone started giving me teenage boy voice cracks, so... look forward to that.

Just did the maths: I did 22 science comms gigs in 2024 I performed in village halls, classrooms, assembly halls, theatres, the Excel centre and, at one point, a tent. Not bad for a side hustle!

Anyway, here's to 2025 and you hiring me to perform at your event.

A quick note to all my various supervisors, clients and editors – I won't be working for the foreseeable future because there's a cat on my lap.

Hi Bluesky! I'm Nate, a PhD researcher (in trans youth mental health and community psychology), science communicator, non-fiction writer, editor, podcaster and cat fanatic.

I'll be talking brains, mental health, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ lives, RPGs, and general yapping.
