Public engagement & inclusion

Astrophysics made accessible

I want the science of the Universe to reach people too often left out of it, with inclusion built into the design from the start.

STFC Sparks Award

Creative astrophysics with the MoSAIC

As the holder of an STFC Sparks Award, I run a programme of creative astrophysics outreach in partnership with the MoSAIC, including infrared-painting workshops at the Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution. It is designed with neurodivergent pupils and under-represented groups in STEM in mind.
