Public Speaking
I regularly communicate physics to a lay audience and speak about inclusion and accessibility in STEM, with a focus on neurodiversity. Some examples of recorded talks can be found on this page along with a list of my past and upcoming speaking engagements. If you’d like to book me for a speaking engagement such as keynote presentations, workshops, careers talks, panel guest or moderator, or event presenter, you can get in touch here.
I also engage with the media and I’m happy to be interviewed for an article, podcast or video. For more information on this, please see this page.
