As an evolutionary anthropologist and science communicator, Anna is passionate about bringing the science behind human stories to a wider audience. Her anthropological focus means that hard science is mixed with other disciplines to give a truly rounded answer to some of life’s big questions. Anna’s broadcast work has led her to be one of the few visible female scientists in the media today.

Anna is a regular contributor to the BBC and Channel 4, most recently seen in Planet Sex with Cara Delevingne (BBC 3 and Hulu, 2023) and heard on The Seven Deadly Psychologies (BBC Radio 4, 2023), Sideways (BBC Radio 4, 2025 (Love and fatherhood) & 2026 (Male fertility and broodiness)) and Curious Cases (BBC Radio 4, 2025). She has recently contributed to a three-part series on fatherhood, The Story of Fatherhood, for BBC Radio 4 due to air in May 2026. She is currently working with Inner Eye Productions on a short film focusing on the impact of fatherlessness on children, to be released later in 2026 and as a consultant to the BBC Natural History Unit on a programme on animal love.

Anna has worked as onscreen lead scientist on two seasons of Married at First Sight (Channel 4/CPL), as an onscreen expert and script consultant on Meet the Humans (Multi-part series BBC World) and as an on-screen expert on Kathy Burke’s All Women (Channel 4/Flicker), Myths of Humankind (2 x 10 part series: ZDF/StoryHouse) and Life’s Essential Elements (Australian Broadcasting Company/WildBear)
