Senior Editor

Fran graduated from The University of Manchester in 2024 after completing an Integrated Masters in Chemistry. Loving science, but wanting to focus on the story behind research she went on to study a part time journalism diploma and has recently achieved a Gold Standard NCTJ qualification. When she's not getting excitable about the latest cutting edge advances in scitech, Fran loves to read, run and have a boogie. Lately she's been obsessed with wild swimming and is slowly mapping out all the best spots around Manchester to go for a dip.
