Science Outreach Opportunities

Science outreach is an important task for any scientist to promote public awareness and foster a deeper understanding of science, returning the investment made through public funding. Besides making an informal contribution to science education, it is one of the most rewarding and fun ways to share a passion for research. Having presented over 25 public lectures, I am an experienced public speaker, engaging audiences of all ages, at all levels.
