Tom completed a BSc in Psychology at Cardiff University, MRes in Brain Imaging and Cognitive Neuroscience at The University of Birmingham, and PhD in Experimental Psychology at University College London before joining the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS) as a Postdoctoral Fellow in 2017. After two happy years in the Californian sunshine, Tom is now heading across the pond to Germany in January 2019 to set up the Meta-Research Innovation Center Berlin (METRIC-B).
