Stuart Farrimond (April 1982[1] - May 2025[2]) was a British science communicator,[3][4][5] food scientist for BBC's Inside the Factory,[6] best-selling Sunday Times science author,[3][4] and a brain tumor researcher.[7][8][9]
Farrimond was a physician who was diagnosed with a brain tumor (astrocytoma). Treatment left him with medical complications that led him to abandon clinical practice and to become a brain tumor research advisor, advocate, and fundraiser for the International Brain Tumor Alliance and the medical charity Brain Tumour Research.[2][4][6][10][11]
After clinical practice, Farrimond started a science-communication blog that led to a media career.[10][12] He was a regular science contributor on BBC television and BBC radio, appeared in numerous NHS and other documentaries, and was a recurring contributor in The Independent, the Daily Mail, BBC Science Focus, and New Scientist.[3][4][9][13][14] He secured funding[15] from the Wellcome Trust for the start of the Guru Magazine and contributed to Simon Sinek's Optimism Company.[16]
Farrimond wrote the "Science of" series international bestsellers, including The Science of Cooking (2017), The Science of Spice (2018), The Science of Living (2020), The Science of Gardening (2023), and The Science of Flavor (2025). "The Science of" series has sold more than 1 million copies globally, and has been translated into 19 languages.[3]
