What collaborators have to say about working with Ben

​It's a rare skill to be able to communicate the complexities of fundamental science - in particular particle physics - to a general public audience. Ben is an outstanding science communicator, being able to take the most esoteric topic and not just make it comprehensible, but turn it into an exciting, inspiring and compelling story. The fact that he can do this with both short- and long-form text and/or highly creative, eye-catching visuals puts him in the premier league of science communication. The content he generates is smart, engaging, entertaining and, crucially, it's scientifically correct.

​I highly recommend Ben. I have requested his help and expertise on numerous occasions to represent science topics in a creative and unique ways. Ben never fails to deliver!

Jo Thompson, National Oceanography Centre



​Ben produced a series of high-quality public engagement resources for my organisation. I could not have asked for better, both in terms of the content and graphics. The feedback we have received about the resources has been consistently really good. I have always found Ben to be easy to work with, very knowledgeable and completely professional.

Andrew Thompson, STFC Public Engagement

​Ben is a skilled science communicator but where he really stands out is in visual story telling. He asks the right questions to ensure we are on the same page, provides useful advice on really honing the messaging and then generates content that is accurate, engaging, and timeless content that we have used for many years.

Sara Fletcher, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source, STFC



​​Ben is excellent at taking a challenging technical concept and turning it into something visually engaging and straightforward to understand. He has been working with us on an ongoing illustration series and his expertise in getting a message across in a visual format has been invaluable. Beyond simply providing imagery, he can advise on the best way to approach a topic and create an illustration that tells a story.

Eleanor Dixon, FAAM Airborne Laboratory


Science can be tricky to communicate. Especially large scale, complex projects with layers of technical detail. Ben has a rare ability to cut through that complexity. He not only understands the underlying science, but also knows exactly how to pinpoint the core ideas and bring them to life in a way that’s clear, engaging and entertaining to read (and that’s not even mentioning the fantastic graphics he produces). I worked with Ben for over four years, and always valued his insight and expertise.

Henry Northmore, UK Astronomy and Technology Centre

Ben is the best illustrator of science I have ever worked with. It's.That.Simple. From his pioneering days at the Metro to the stuff he does for clients, his talent for explaining complex subjects (particularly fundamental physics) through engaging graphics is quite unsurpassed. On top of that, he's an absolutely first rate science writer - and a very nice chap to spend the day walking round a lab with.
