Clio is the author of "Mathematics and Sex," published by Allen and Unwin, and has made notable appearances on television, radio, and in the press. She is recognised as a member of The Brains Trust on ABC TV's "The Einstein Factor."
Diversity has shaped Clio Cresswell’s life from an early age. Born in England, she spent part of her childhood on a Greek island and later attended school in the south of France. Clio initially pursued Visual Art studies in Cannes before her discovery of both Australia and mathematics at eighteen redirected her academic path. She went on to study mathematics at The University of New South Wales and, after working as an actuary, returned to university to earn the University Medal and complete a PhD. Today, she proudly serves as an Australia Day Ambassador.
Clio has conducted interviews on The Panel, delivered in-depth book reviews for the Science Show on ABC's Radio National, served as a lively host on breakfast radio at Triple M, offered relationship advice on Beauty and The Beast, and penned a popular column for several years in New Woman Magazine. She has also provided humour on The Glasshouse, triumphed in debates such as speaking for Lord Howard Florey in ABC TV's "The Greatest Australian," and was voted one of Who Weekly's 25 Most Beautiful People in 2001.
"Mathematics and Sex" was first released in Australia and New Zealand in September 2003, followed by North America in September 2004, South Africa in January 2005, the UK in March 2005, Germany in April 2005, and Italy in April 2006, with translations in Scandinavia and Japan to come.
