Science broadcaster and journalist

Talks and live events

I love bringing science to life on stage – whether that’s chairing panels, giving talks, or literally blowing things up in live science shows.

Panel discussions

I aim to create a warm and engaging atmosphere when chairing panels for podcasts, TV, and festivals.

Chatting about the new podcast series Sherlock & Co at the Radio Academy Festival.
Debating the impacts of the new malaria vaccine in Malawi for the BBC World Service.
Discussing the science of yogurt at Sofia Science Festival, Bulgaria.

Talks

I give talks about my career and a wide range of scientific topics. Sometimes I’m given free rein to explore one of my favourites; other times I’m invited to dive into something new. While the topics I cover are diverse, the colours I wear are not.

How I became a science journalist at New Scientist Live.
Keynote speaker for Speech Day at St Catherine’s School.
The science behind relaxation and music at Crossed Wires Festival.

Live science experiments

Throughout my presenting career, I have performed science experiments on stage to a range of audiences. My favourite demos include making a ‘poo’ to explain how digestion works, building a barometer using a stairwell, and setting fire to butane to demonstrate the principles behind climate change.

Clients

I’ve brought science to the stage with many different clients, including: Google, the Royal Institution, Gastronaut, and the BBC.
