Trevor Day originally trained as a zoologist and marine biologist and worked in Egypt for the United Nations Development Program. Since the early 1980s Trevor has spent more than ten years as a lecturer, trainer and curriculum manager in further education and industry. During that time he was deputy director of an innovative teaching unit and provided research and training services to multinational companies. Since 1992, Trevor has focused on researching and writing science works. He has written and co-authored more than forty books and numerous articles.

Trevor has special expertise in writing about health and environmental issues, but his work takes him right across the natural sciences spectrum. Trevor's travels in Australia and Europe since 1998 formed the basis for articles on whales, dolphins and sharks, culminating in the publication of the book Whale Watcher for the Natural History Museum (London).

In 1997, Trevor was short-listed for the Rhone-Poulenc Junior Prize for Science for his work on the Incredible Journey to the Centre of the Atom, published by Kingfisher (UK) and Barnes & Noble (US). It has since been translated into ten languages.

Trevor is a visiting lecturer in Non-Fiction Writing at the University of Bath and elsewhere. As a consultant to Dorling Kindersley and Puffin Books (UK) he advises children’s writers on the scientific accuracy of their work.

In 2000, Trevor wrote the 60-page guidebook for the £97 million at-Bristol science, nature and arts complex at Harbourside, Bristol UK. In 2004, Trevor was interviewer and case-study author for the AstraZeneca Science Teaching Trust booklet on primary school research distributed to all UK schools.
