As a research scientist, the results of experiments are published in scientific journals as papers. These papers are reviewed by members of the scientific community to ensure the experiments have been well designed, that the data has been analysed appropriately and that the conclusions of the authors are reasonable. The following is a list of my publications:

I enjoy sharing the results of my research with the public as much as possible. One way I have done this is by writing or providing expertise for popular science publications.
