About
Ed studied at several UK universities before cruelly being exiled to get a job and a haircut! After originally studying space physics he turned to the dark side (spacecraft engineering), then realised how poorly structured his code was and opted to learn software engineering, too. Now he works in Germany, where he helps to land robots on other worlds and predict the weather. When hes not commanding spacecraft hes busy explaining where the limits of our scientific knowledge lie, as the founder of London-based science publisher Things We Dont Know (dot com). But he still hasnt got that haircut.
