Leah Crane is a Physics & Space Reporter for New Scientist. She covers a wide range of topics in the field of physics and space exploration, including articles on celestial bodies, space missions, scientific discoveries, and the future of space exploration. Leah's work has also been featured in Knowledia.

Leah's coverage is heavily focused on scientific themes, particularly space exploration and planetary science. Her articles often include data citations, investment analysis, and expert commentary, suggesting a preference for pitches that offer in-depth scientific insights supported by credible sources or data.
Given the technical nature of her coverage, Leah would likely be most responsive to experts who can provide detailed explanations of complex astronomical phenomena or discuss the practical implications of space missions and discoveries.
As she does not have a specific geographic focus but instead covers international space-related developments, pitches should emphasize global relevance rather than local angles.
