Gemma Milne is a British science writer and speaker on innovation and technology. Despite being a high-achiever (or maybe because of it), she struggled to find work that was meaningful to her. This is one of the things that makes her very human.

Another thing that makes her human is her self-awareness around the desire for attention. Other topics we covered in today’s podcast include her wanting to become a dolphin trainer and later astronaut, attending Space School in Houston and working for the advertising giant Ogilvy.

On today’s podcast:

Her earliest memories and her fondness for maths
Wanting to be a dolphin trainer as a child and later an astronaut
Dealing with rejection and overcoming complacency
Being bullied for being intelligent and taking revenge by attending Space School
Her disappointment with Ogilvy
Transitioning to science writing and starting to write a book
