Outreach

I am passionate about public outreach, I regularly give talks and presentations about various topics related to astronomy at different events (e.g. Researchers' Night, SCIndikátor, Bradford Science Festival), planetarium shows, as well as in schools. A few years ago, I joined the team of Svábhegyi Csillagvizsgáló, which is an interactive astronomy visitor center in Hungary, at the outskirts of Budapest. Here, we show visitors the night sky through different telescopes (including a more than 100 years old - but still operational - refractor partially built by the Hungarian astronomer Miklós Konkoly-Thege, and also using a 60 cm diameter Zeiss-Heyde reflector). I also write short astronomy related articles for the website of the Svábhegyi Csillagvizsgáló.

I occasionally appear on Hungarian media to talk about astronomy and science. For example, I gave an online talk and a radio interview on the occasion of the International Day of Women in Science, and a short TV interview when a fireball crossed the sky in 2021 December. I also appeared on one episode of the hungarian documentary series Mesterember, which presents different professions. This particular episode introduced the profession of astronomy, where I briefly talked about how stars form.
