I am passionate about public engagement of science and in particular sparking and interest in the young children of today to become the scientists of tomorrow. As part of this I have helped to deliver various STEM outreach actives including an all-day workshop at Ysgol Y Borth, Menai Bridge, consisting of a full school assembly flash-bang interactive show and then full class interactive workshops for years 2-6 covering Chemistry of Flavour; understanding why foods have particular tastes and Chemistry of Art, using natural pigments to make paints and understanding the science behind it.
