About

Hi, I’m Amalyah.

I’m a freelance science journalist based in London. My words focus on science, nature and the environment, and those intersections where science and culture collide.

My work has appeared across The Saturday Paper, Cosmos Magazine, The New Daily, The Diplomat, The Medical Republic, RenewEconomy, Particle, and The Citizen.

I have presented and produced audio content for the Cosmos Briefing podcast, LiSTNR’s Huh? Science Explained podcast, and All The Best Radio.

My stories have also been published in The Best Australian Science Writing 2023, 2024, and 2025.

I’ve been lucky to have my work recognised, including runner up in the 2023 Bragg Prize for Science Writing; runner up at the Melbourne Press Club Quill Awards for Excellence in Science, Medical and Healthcare Reporting in 2023; finalist for 2022 Quill Awards Student Journalist of the year; and 2021 winner of the Monash Climate Change Communication Hub Award for best climate reporting.

I also write press releases, editorials and content for universities and research institutions. If you’d like to work together, you can reach out via the contact page.
