From Paradise to Palermo


I have written a few general papers, including a discussion of the influence of Galileo on John Milton (Prometheus), the question of whether science is bankrupting religion (New Scientist), research at the Vatican Academy of Sciences (Sunday Times), and a comment on Italy's "Saints and Sinners" (In Other Words).

One of my great pleasures is the theatre, and I have reviewed a number of new productions for BBC Oxford.
