I’m passionate about science communication, and have delivered several talks, events, and outreach stalls at science festivals. In recent years I delivered telescope tours at the MPIA open house (Tag der Offenen Tür), and delivered planetarium shows at the Geneva Observatory 250th anniversary celebration. Previously, I led the Astronomy on Tap Boston team while in MIT, and the Pint of Science Exeter team while in Exeter. I was selected as the lecturer for the 2017 Institute of Physics School’s Tour, where I gave 14 talks at schools in Devon and Cornwall, and as a PhD student I wrote several articles for astrobites.org. See my astrobites articles here.

Watch me present my thesis work in the national final of the IOP 3 Minute Wonder competition below:
