Hi, I’m PRIYA JOI.

I’m a science journalist with over 20 years of experience, having been on staff at New Scientist, The Lancet, the World Health Organization, and worked as a consultant for UNICEF, UNAIDS, Médecins Sans Frontières, The Royal Society, Nature, BMJ, SciDev.Net, BBC, the Guardian.

My memoir ‘M(other)land’ on motherhood, race and identity is being published by Penguin in March 2023.

I run courses to empower freelance science communicators to level up their freelancing, diversify their portfolios, and to thrive and not just survive in the world of freelance, and can offer one-to-one coaching.
