I have given talks about science writing and broadcasting for events including the AAAS Annual Meeting, and as part of teaching modules for King’s College London and other universities. I have also given training sessions for academics and professional science writers.

Between 2019 and 2022 I was a Guest Educator on the Science Communications module for fourth year MSci and MSc physics students at King’s College London. In 2024 and 2025 I presented Science Communication Training Sessions for academic staff in the Faculty of Natural, Mathematical & Engineering Sciences at King’s College London.
