I am a linguist, science communicator and comedian who occasionally moonlights as a lecturer at the University of Liverpool. With a PhD in evolutionary linguistics and an obsession with all things sci-fi, her favourite thing to think about is how to communicate with aliens. She has performed well-received, science-themed comedy shows across the UK, including at the British Science Festival and TEDx, and has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Stranger than Sci-Fi and Word of Mouth.
I'm a mature Astrophysics student and run my blog 'The Average Scientist' which is aimed at casual interest readers. From The Average Scientist blog grew 'TAS Talks'. These are bitesize presentations of topics such as 'The size and scale of the Universe', 'Gravity', 'The scientific search for extra-terrestrial intelligence' plus lots of others. They can be tailored for primary school children or adults and are designed specifically to stimulate interest, questions and discussion.

-- Space: It Gets Weird -- Our universe is a very strange place. The further we look the more we find and the more our ideas of what is and isn't possible crumble away. Time can slow down, There are crazy exoplanets made of unimaginable things, and physics itself crumbles away in the face of the overwhelming power of a black hole. This talk covers some of the stranger aspects of our universe and the science behind them.
-- All These Worlds -- From Science-Fiction to Science-Fact, join PhD Student and Science Communicator James lees as he explores the very limits of what planets can be. From Tatooine to Super Earths, and from the strangest of exoplanets to the final place you could ever live. The real, the imaginary and the possible. How they work (or not) and what they might be like to visit. Come and discover just some of the weird and wonderful worlds out there.
--You're Stupid and So Am I-- When it comes down to it, most of us really know very little about the world around us and constantly rely on experts to inform us. So what happens when the world is seemingly entering an era of fake news, distrust and conspiracy? From Flat Earth to 5G, to Covid-19 and vaccines, just how little we all can (and do) know about science, why we should and shouldn’t trust experts, and what happens when conspiracy theorists are confronted with facts.
---Cryptorealities--- An angry beginning, a failing present and a dystopian future. Whilst no longer at its peak ‘Crypto’ seems like it’s here to stay. So it’s worth looking beyond the hype, the buzzwords,and the large figure headlines to ask what’s it all about really? Where did crypto actually come from, what’s it doing now, and what is in its future?
Edwin is a highly experienced science journalist, communicator and public engagement practitioner - an ideal speaker, host or compere for events, dinners or away days. Through his agency, Scientia Scripta, he is on a mission to democratise science and innovation, for good. Edwin speaks eloquently and passionately about communication, engagement and how research should transforming lives. He also argues the ethical case for deep involvement of diverse publics across the R&D&I lifecycle.
The E-M Spectrum (and how we measure it) In a demo-rich talk, we'll visit the spectrum from lowest frequency balloon waves (when you manually move a charged balloon up and down!), to gamma rays and everything between. As I'm from the UK's National Measurement Institute I'll include tales of how our diverse staff measure and use it in metrology. I plan to travel nationwide, so demos will fit in a suitcase with videos of the more bulky demos, so a good AV system at your place is essential.

40 minute talk and Q&A on mind uploading as example of far future neurotechnology. The talk is aimed at the public and incorporates clips from a drama and game focussing on the mind uploading stories of two fictional characters. Through their stories I explore the ethical and moral issues around the topic. The talk is suitable for older children and adults.
I am a PhD student, with a wealth of experience in public engagement and science communication.
