About

This is the online portfolio of me – Cobi Smith. There are photos of me doing all kinds of things in different places here.

In 2013 I’m working as an Australian Youth Ambassador for Development with the Asia Indigenous Peoples Pact (AIPP), based in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. I’m working within AIPP’s research and communication development team supporting their environment, gender, human rights and capacity building programs.

I’m also completing a PhD with the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science. I’ve been doing my PhD part-time while working since I started it originally as an MPhil when I returned to Australia from Cambridge. I’m due to finish at the end of 2014.

I’ve also recently started dabbling in comedy and improvisational theatre, vague information about which is at Time to Krill.

Once upon a time I was a journalist, then editor, then producer, then researcher… now I embrace being all of those things to varying degrees on different projects. Concise Science was the name of my UK business when I was based there, and is the name through which I do freelance/consulting work in Australia.

Most of my work is in science, technology, environment and development. I do presenting, facilitating, producing, writing, editing and translating work. However until I’ve finished my PhD I’m trying not to take on any more projects… unless they’re really interesting, or pay very well.

If you want to tell me about an interesting project you’d like me to get involved with, please email me with some details about you, the project and your budget at:

cobi @ concisescience . com (remove the spaces – they supposedly reduce spam).

If you want to ask me about my research, then email me at:

cobi . smith @ anu . edu . au

alternatively, you can write a comment on the bottom of this page and I’ll get back to you. It won’t appear on the site.

Transparency is important to me; I’m becoming something of an open activist. In the interests of transparency, here are lists of organizations and causes I’ve been involved with. They’re roughly divided into whether money or in-kind support have flowed from them to me, or from me to them. But there’s (inevitably?) some overlap. If you’re involved with an organisation that I’ve overlooked, do send me an email to remind me and I can add it to the list.

My work has been supported by these organisations:
