From rock stars to rock scientists: Zulfikar Abbany has taken on an untraditional trek through the media since he left his native London. He started out as a rock photographer and literary critic, then moved into international current affairs, reporting from places like Hong Kong, Milan and French Guiana. Zulfikar's done radio, read the TV news, presented panels and events, developed content for Voice technology and innovative storytelling. But it's plain old words that got him into journalism, and the hope of inspiring debate about new ideas.
