Dr James Logan

James will be appearing on the television show Squeamish, which will be broadcasting on DMAX, from February 14th, at 10pm. He has already appeared on TV shows including BBC’s The One Show and Bang Goes the Theory, The Discovery Channel’s Weird Connections, and many more. He also makes regular appearances on television news channels, radio and in print media as a scientific expert.

James has an outstanding training as a scientist with a first class honours degree in Zoology and Alfred Russel Wallace Award winner for PhD judged to make the most significant contribution to entomology. He is now an internationally renowned medical and veterinary entomologist, and lecturer in enomology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. A recently elected Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, James specialises in insect ecology and control, but he has a broad range of expertise and knowledge including aspects of travel health, chemistry and biology. As a keen conservationist, James’ contributions to volunteer projects around the globe include protecting and monitoring primates, turtles and endangered marsupials in Costa Rica, Northern Cyprus and the South Australian outback.

His Scottish charm and enthusiasm for science communication make James an excellent presenter with an accessible expertise, resulting in an invitation to become a Science Ambassador for the Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics Network (STEMNET), which aims to inspire young people in science.

James regularly publishes his work in science journals and writes articles for popular, local and educational magazines, and is a regular author in high impacting scientific journals and books including entomology journals and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One of James’ hobbies is documentary filmmaking and he has been trained in development, self-shooting and editing, producing some of his own short films.
