Stefan Gates is a dog lover, TV presenter, renowned science communicator and author of Fartology as well as eight other books. He specialises in explaining weird and wonderful science with wit and clarity. He has presented over 20 television series and appeared on hundreds of others, and his acclaimed Gastronaut shows are performed at high-profile science events across the world. His dog Blue loves chasing balls even more than he loves licking his unmentionables, and only very occasionally does a poo in the spare room.
