About Oz

Oz is a biology geek. By day, he is a research scientist, and by night, he performs in science gigs around the globe.

Oz is a scientist, science communicator, and currently a leader in the field of dementia research. He completed his Ph.D. in neuroscience in London, where he studied how the brain cleans itself and spent most of his time imaging and colouring in brains. He then moved to the United States in search of new scientific adventures, and to diversify his experience of weather patterns.

Prior to his foray into brain science, he researched bone development and spent a lot of time taking X-rays. He has seen more bones than you (probably). 

In his days as an undergraduate, Oz studied physiology and also took a year out to do a research placement in genetics.

Oz is an advocate for diversity, and co-founded the Minorities in STEM network to help support and showcase ethnic minorities in science. He is also passionate about raising LGBTQ+ voices both within science and within ethnic minority groups.
