Public Events

I love getting out of the university environment and meeting people. Talking about science is always a good hook and I’ve organised/been part of some really cool events other the last few years. Here are some examples.

-2016/2017-

Member of UoL  ‘Palaeo Diets – How do we know what extinct animals ate?’ team in both 2016 and 2017. In 2017 took part in the soapbox science event.
