A World of Sound
Did you know that the scales on a moth’s wings have evolved to absorb the exact frequency of sound emitted by bats when they are hunting?
This effectively makes the moths invisible to bats, and their design has inspired the production of super-sound-absorbing meta-materials which are being used to dampen unwanted sounds in the human world.

International Year of Sound
This is just one of the many fascinating insights I’ve discovered whilst working on a brilliant project with the UK Acoustics Network.
2020/21 was the first International Year of Sound, initiated by the International Commission for Acoustics, and was established as a celebration of the role sound plays in our lives.
Inspiring Young People
In response, experts from the UK Acoustics Network and the International Year of Sound team, have got together to create a series of articles which introduce young people to some of the most fascinating and cutting-edge research and discoveries that acoustic scientists are working on today.
Editorial Consultant
I've been working with acousticians from all over the UK to edit and re-write these articles to make them engaging and exciting for children aged 8-12.
International Publication
The collection of articles are being published on Frontiers for Young Minds, an online scientific magazine for children.
To date, the collection has been viewed over 440,000 times by young people all over the world.
