My guest in this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast is the journalist <a href="https://mediadirectory.economist.com/people/jason-palmer/">Jason Palmer</a>, who co-hosts the <a href="https://www.economist.com/audio/podcasts/the-intelligence">Intelligence</a> podcast at the Economist.

Palmer did a PhD in chemical physics at Imperial College London before turning his hand to science writing with stints at the BBC and New Scientist.
He explains how he made the transition from the laboratory to the newsroom and offers tips for scientists planning to make the same career journey. We also chat about how artificial intelligence is changing how journalists work.
