Biography

Currently studying A Levels (Economics, Maths, Geography and Biology) at Devonport High School for Boys. I mean, there's really not that much biographical information that I write here that would probably interest you at all, but nonetheless, I guess i'm just the standard student studying A Levels :)

I found this great infographic by NPR a while back and thought I’d share it with all of you. It’s a beautiful video describing the ‘exponential’ population growth that we’ve experienced in the past two centuries.
