about me
Hello! I’m Jokūbas Leikauskas (MSc in Science Communication), a multimedia creator and editor based in London. I produce short documentaries, write interview-based articles, and make podcasts on topics related to science, health, and sustainability.
In recent years, I’ve written video scripts for Healthnews (WellnessPulse), contributed articles to BioInsights as both interviewer and editor, and self-directed short independent documentaries, including “Hauling“, “How to Bee Friendly“, and “Doomed to Doomscroll“.
For collaborations, get in touch via mcjokubas@gmail.com.
