Dr Marty Jopson
Sara Cameron Talent Management are the Agents for Dr Marty Jopson.
Dr Marty Jopson is a TV Presenter, Science Communicator with a PhD in plant cell biology.
He has always been a science geek. He went off to Cambridge University to study Natural Sciences (Botany) and then did a PhD in plant cell biology at the John Innes Institute in Norwich. While you may think that this makes me a plant scientist, he’s a science generalist at heart and comfortable explaining the whole gamut of scientific subjects.
Marty has been making science television for over twenty years and has worked behind the camera as a researcher, prop builder, director, producer, executive and company manager. His career as a presenter spans over thirteen years as the science reporter on the BBC1 flagship programme, The One Show. I've also appeared on regional, national and international series like Invention Nation (BBC1), The House the 50s Built (C4), Food Factory (BBC1) and Brainiac (Sky1).
When not on television, he spend much of his time on stage performing hair-raising and flammable science at science festivals around the country. He builds all of his own props and take dangerous, high-voltage and high-speed science stunts to the audiences at prestigious venues like the Royal Institution, Cheltenham Science Festival, Edinburgh International Science Festival and BIG Bang Fair at the NEC, to name but a few.
He is currently the proud author of three books, all produced with publisher Michael O'Mara. My first, The Science of Everyday Life, has been on Amazon's best seller lists and translated into numerous languages. His second, The Science of Food, was published in 2017 and third The Science of Being Human in 2019.
Marty lives in Yorkshire, far away from London, and is very involved in the Otley Science Festival that he started back in 2008.
