Susan Curtis is a contributing editor to Physics World. She was previously the managing editor of the Physics World online team, helping our brilliant writers, contributors and editors to create a compelling mix of daily news, insightful analysis and high-impact multimedia for a global scientific audience. Susan worked in scientific publishing for more than 20 years, following a physics degree at the University of Surrey and a short stint as a research petrophysicist for BP. Susan is now a freelance journalist and editor, and says she still gets excited whenever she talks to scientists about their work, and in particular how it might be exploited in commercial applications. She can often be found in the gym or running around the beautiful harbour in Bristol.
