ProfessorJohn Tregoning

As well as working on the immune response to vaccines, I write about science.

I have written 2 popular science books: Infectious and Live Forever.

I blog about science and academic careers. I have written for Nature, Science, Times Higher Education and The Guardian.

During the COVID19 lockdown, I wrote a weekly diary for the Nature Career Column.
