Dr Dan O'Connor
Dr Dan O'Connor
When Dan (who occasionally likes to mention that he has a PhD) isn't being a social media consultant for Ryan*MacMillan, he's postdoctoral fellow at the Berman Bioethics Institute at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. He has, in his time, lived in Venice, Wisconsin, Leamington Spa and, in a largely unrelated note, once helped Germaine Greer break an overhead projector.
His career has seen him lecture at Universities on both sides of the Atlantic and publish articles on the sort of subjects that raise eyebrows at cocktail parties. Dan has worked on various progressive political campaigns and inexplicably found the time to maintain a cult blog about pop culture. He likes Doctor Who, martinis and irony.
