Meet the Presenter
As presenter of the RIKEN Podcast, Charlotte combines two of her greatest loves: science and Japan. She joined Nature in 2007 after a brief stint with BBC Radio and upon completing an MSc in Science Communication at Imperial College London. Before that, she studied Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge, taking courses in everything from physiology and ecology to the history and philosophy of science. She also squeezed in two years teaching English and learning Japanese on the island of Kyushu in south-west Japan. As well as presenting the RIKEN Podcast, Charlotte reports for the weekly Nature show and produces other podcasts and videos for nature.com.
