I love communicating science and astrophysics to the general public, and take every opportunity I can to take part.
During my PhD I helped to organise the Pint of Science festigal for many years and co-coordinated the Leeds festival in 2019. Big public events are a fantastic way to reach people's imagination. Since moving to Chile I've been happy to see this continuning with Astronomía en el Parque event with ESO and ALMA and the Space is the Place series of events organised by YEMS researchers.
I greatly enjoy speaking to younger audiences and love to visit schools for mobile-planetarium shows or talks. I have been working with Skype a Scientist for a number of years to talk with school children from around the world about astronomy and space sciences, as well as regular visits to a school in my home town for their annual 'Space Night'.
In recent years I've contributed social media content to promote major science discoveries and to provide content for podcasts and youtube videos, a selection of which are included here.
