hello & welcome

I’m Natasha Loder a health editor and I’m based in London.

Glad to meet you.

Welcome to Overmatter, a home for the stories that matter.

Over several decades I’ve had the great privilege to get a front-row seat on cutting edge science and medicine. I’ve watched the birth of the private space industry, followed the arrival of immunotherapy, and the rise of Crispr. I’m looking forward to opening up my notebook with the material that, inevitably, cannot all make it into the pages of The Economist.

You won’t be deluged with emails as I’ll be writing once or twice a month.

And if you have a great story of your own to tell, why not get in touch, or reply in the comments?

Natasha
