Author Information

Robert Matthews is Visiting Research Fellow at Aston University and Science Correspondent for The Sunday Telegraph. He writes regular columns for, among others, The New Scientist and Focus magazine, and has published papers on a range of subjects from cryptography to cosmology. Most famously, his research on Murphy's Law (why toast always lands butter-side down, and why there are always hundreds of odd socks in your drawer) won him a discourse to the Royal Institution of Great Britain, as well as several awards.
