About The Author
Tim James
Tim James is an expert in science communication, making seemingly complex topics such as the periodic table and quantum mechanics entertaining for all ages. He is the author of Elemental: How the Periodic Table Can Now Explain (Nearly) Everything, a public lecturer (Institute of Physics) and an inventor - having discovered a chemical that converts wood into a liquid biofuel.
Raised by missionaries in Nigeria, he fell in love with science at the age of fifteen and refuses to get over his infatuation. Since graduating with a Master’s degree in chemistry, specialising in computational quantum mechanics, he devoted himself to teaching until 2022. His first book was selected by the Daily Mail as one of the best books of 2018.
