Sharing the wonders of palaeontology with new audiences is one of my favourite things to do! Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to speak at academic conferences as a keynote speaker, give public talks at museums, societies and fossil festivals, and lead guided tours — taking people of all ages and backgrounds on a journey through deep time.
My award winning talks explore the fascinating science of how animals become fossils, but I also love inspiring the next generation with talks on how to pursue a career in palaeontology.
Whether you’re organising a conference, a public event, or something in between, I’d love to hear from you — just email me using my address on the contacts page.
Public speaking is the best part of my job. Here I am giving an invited talk at the Lapworth Museum discussing my bad life choices that led to me doing experiments with rotting octopuses (Lapworth lectures, Lapworth Museum, University of Birmingham, 2019).
