Adam Rutherford

Following a degree in evolutionary biology, Dr Adam Rutherford completed a PhD in the genetics of the eye. Now, Adam is an editor at the science journal Nature, where he runs their podcast and video department.

Adam has presented on a number of major series for the BBC: ‘Cell’, a 3-part series for BBC4 covering 4 billion years of evolution, from the very first cell, to the future of life itself, ‘The Gene Code’ on BBC4 in 2011 and, most recently, his contribution to the BBC’s Horizon series, ‘Playing God’, that aired at this beginning of this year. And when he’s not doing that, Adam presents shows for Radio 4, and writes articles and a blog for the Guardian, mostly about Darwin, sometimes about religion.

His first book, Creation, will be published in 2013 by Viking in the UK, and Penguin/Portfolio in the US.
