About
This is the online portfolio of me – Cobi Smith. There are some photos of me doing all kinds of things in different countries here.
At the moment I’m completing a PhD through the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, while working for RiAus. Once upon a time I was a journalist, then editor, then researcher… well actually I’m still all three, to varying degrees.
I’m science, environment, health and development-focused. I’ve done writing, editing, broadcasting, presenting, facilitating, digital media, production and translation work. However until I’ve finished my PhD I’m trying not to take on new projects… unless they’re really interesting.
Things in Spanish and French interest me so I can keep my language skills fresh.
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.
Unfortunately standard WordPress does not support uploading audio or video, so please contact me for more broadcast samples than those linked elsewhere in my archives.
