Get cape, wear cape, write

Time for a spot of self-indulgence, if that’s ok. It is? Great!

For the last 3 months or so I’ve been working as a freelance journalist for a higher education portal called HERO (higher education and research opportunities).

It’s a lot of fun – I basically get to write articles about anything that’s related in some way to higher education.

We work months and months in advance, which means that only now is any of my stuff up. Of my 16 articles now online, you can read all about… how one-molecule computers are going to rock your world, what it’s like to have a baby while at uni, what a toaster that wants to be an iPod looks like, why students are boycotting Coca-Cola, how much you could earn by writing essays for lazy students, and what Jeremy Clarkson did to get hit in the face by a pie.

And if you have anything higher education-related that you think should be a HERO feature, drop me a line!
