Science broadcaster and journalist

Social media

I create videos for my personal TikTok and Instagram and also present content for clients on their socials. In total, my videos have over 15 million views.

My videos turn complex scientific ideas into intriguing stories which make them accessible and entertaining. Inspired by the popular format of the podcast I present – CrowdScience – I also make videos answering unexpected science questions, like: How much does the internet weigh? How did water arrive on Earth? Are we mature at 18?

The longest running science experiment of all time. 3.5 million+ views.
