A former editor of the science journal ''Nature'' and opinion editor at ''New Scientist'' magazine in London, she has written for ''The Guardian'' and ''The Economist''.〔 Marchant writes that "the idea for Decoding the Heavens came about in November 2006, when I was an editor at the science journal ''Nature''. A research paper was due to be published revealing the workings of a sophisticated ancient device called the Antikythera mechanism. The story grabbed me immediately, and I was desperate to find out more about this mysterious contraption. I travelled to Athens to see the remains of the mechanism, and to meet those who have studied it and hear their stories." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Jo Marchand )〕 ==References==
