Lloyd Spencer Davis was born in Napier, New Zealand. He went to universities in Wellington and Christchurch before heading overseas to do his PhD at the University of Alberta in Canada. In 1985, he moved to Dunedin, New Zealand, and still calls it home. He is both a proponent and practitioner of creative nonfiction writing and his books to date are distinguished by the unique perspectives he puts on them.
He also writes essays for magazines like Natural History and newspapers like the Star Sunday Times. His topics usually involve nature or science and his approach is often very personal.
In addition to being a writer, Lloyd Spencer Davis is also an award-winning scientist, photographer, filmmaker and science communicator. He currently holds the Stuart Chair in Science Communication at the University of Otago where, among other things, he teaches creative nonfiction writing and science communication.
