Priya translates new hair and scalp research into plain English, explaining how studies were done and how much weight they deserve.
Priya writes about new research into hair, scalp and skin biology. She studied biology before moving into science journalism, and has since written for science magazines and university research communications teams. Her focus is helping readers understand how a study was designed, how many people took part and how much weight its findings can bear. She is wary of miracle claims and enjoys explaining why early results in mice or small groups are only a first step. Priya lives in Cambridge, where she sings in a community choir.
