Public Outreach Talks

I enjoy communicating the excitement of Astronomy to a wide audience.
Sometimes you can hear me on BBC Radio 4, where I am a regular panellist on the environmental programme Home Planet.
I am also to be found on the monthly Naked Astronomy podcasts.

I am happy to give talks about most topics in Astronomy and Space Science to most audiences.
Synopses of some of my more popular talks are available here.
Please note that during the current year (2011/12) I am unfortunately rarely available on a Wednesday evening.
