*** Greg is currently filming a new BBC Three series called 'Ask A Stupid Question'! Why does chilli burn? Could you dig to Australia? How do you escape from quicksand? Greg puts himself on the line to answer the questions you’ve always pondered. Head over to here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012zyk7) to find out more! ***
Greg is a 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 how the world ticks.
Greg packs his time with almost every type of Science Communication: When he's not out filming a fun science stunt for the telly, performing live shows in schools, hanging about music festivals getting people excited about hands-on science, producing & directing some film or other, or doing a spot of consultancy and lecturing, he's probably out in the waves, on the lake, or zooming through a forest!
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.
Greg tours his science of extreme sports live show -- Science Junkie -- at schools, science festivals, music festivals and extreme sports festivals around the UK. He’s currently writing the follow up – all about the science of London 2012. He also co-hosts a science podcast called 'Droppin' Science' that's full of quirky news from the world of science, all wrapped up in a funky MTV style production.
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!
