Hi, I’m Adam, a scientist and activist with a history of organising campaigns in the community.

Full statement

Outside of politics, I’m a research scientist working in manufacturing engineering, developing advanced manufacturing technologies for measuring high-value products; primarily working on precision and additive manufacturing applications.

I have worked for several years in the scientific and manufacturing communities and have worked with key players in the manufacturing industry, from Rolls Royce to the High-Value Manufacturing Catapult.

I hold a strong advocacy for increasing the number of expert voices in local and national government and the general science-literacy of British politics.

I am currently heavily involved in the development of science policy for the organisation Scientists for Labour. I believe in implementing well-reasoned, scientifically-sound policy and have been doing what I can over the past year to contribute to our national response to the COVID-19 pandemic by co-leading a team to collate the latest science and present it to politicians and the public in an easily digestible format.

I am known locally for my ability to provide reason and measured debate; I am often able to facilitate consensus between people with differing opinions.

I care very much about restoring our NHS, stopping climate change and getting a good deal for my community in Long Eaton, where I live. I have live in Erewash since 2015, and in my current house in Nottingham Road ward for the last 18 months.

Prior to my current career, I trained as a secondary science teacher and feel very strongly about improving the quality of the education system.
