Greg is a BBC Science Presenter and Science Junkie: Half science geek, half adrenaline-junkie, he's up for pushing himself and science to the limit. As a daredevil scientist, Greg's on a mission to find original, edgy and immersive ways to get people excited about what makes the world tick.

*** Greg’s new stunt-filled TV series starts on BBC Three soon: “Secrets Of Everything” tackles those brain-tickling questions you never got proper answers to, including ‘Could you survive being buried alive?’ ‘What do humans taste of?’ & ‘What actually is one giant leap on the moon?’. Using science, his mates, and – more often than not – his own body, Greg stops at nothing to uncover the truth: from taking himself to the edge of hyperthermia or scoffing ridiculously hot chillies, to getting struck by lightning and sinking into quicksand! ***

*** Greg is also about to launch a new live show that’s set to tour festivals & schools during 2012: “Science Junkie: In the Zone” reveals the physiology and sports engineering that make an Olympic and Paralympic athlete a champion. Full of big, impressive demos, cutting-edge interactive tech and audience participation Greg will reveal - live on stage - what happens as you struggle to push your body over the finish line and how sports engineers help you shave off those vital milliseconds. The show is supported by a Wellcome Trust People Award and developed with the Royal Institution. ***

Greg’s got a first class degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, a Masters in Science Media Production from Imperial College, and a passion for getting out of the Big Smoke for a weekend of extreme sport or adventure. When he's not out filming a daredevil science stunt for TV or performing an action-packed live show in a school, he’ll be hanging about a music festival getting people excited about hands-on science, producing & directing a film or two, or doing a spot of consultancy, script-writing or lecturing. If you can’t find him there he's probably out surfing in the waves, wakeboarding on the lake, or zooming through a forest on his mountain bike!

Greg has previously presented a whole range of TV science shows: “Secrets Of The Universe” was BBC Three’s first science documentary; it told the '13.7 billion year story of you' through lots of fun stunts including making Big Ben chime 13 times, playing the guitar at 60mph, and microwaving ants. Before that Greg put himself on the line to persuade Gavin Henson to take a direct hit from 750,000 volts of electricity on 'How To Kill A Celebrity' on Bravo, he was the Science & Tech expert on BBC2's quiz series 'KnowItAlls', and he presented children's science and invention series 'Whizz Whizz Bang Bang' on CBBC where he made crazy inventions such as an underwater canoe, hover-board, robotic horse and a jet engine bed driven by The Stig.

To launch the Wellcome Trust’s big “In the Zone” project Greg was asked to write and present an exciting launch show alongside Sir Steve Redgrave CBE. Part of the show saw Greg and Steve go head-to-head on a rowing machine – unsurprisingly Steve took it all in his stride whilst Greg ended up a big sweaty mess!

Greg recently did some consultancy for the theatre team behind Brainiac Live and Science Museum Live; he was asked to develop some original, large-scale, impressive experiments for their new tour (which included a giant, potentially life-threatening pendulum demo and a huge chemiluminescence sign) and help pull together the new script.

He has also written and co-presented a series of science podcasts called 'Droppin' Science' that are full of quirky news from the world of science, all wrapped up in a funky MTV style production. They’re available on iTunes here.

Greg grew up in the Lake District where he spent his time kayaking, climbing and merrily hanging off high wire ropes. Plus, with a love of snowboarding, kite-boarding, and surfing Greg isn't fazed by a total wipe out!
