| Results and Impact | I have taken part in experiments with children demonstrating the spectrum of light, this involved making spectrometers out of CD's and black card along with demonstrating how radio receivers work. In more recent years, I have run my own astronomy themed art activities, these involved scientific colouring in which I drew myself along with making different type of telescope hats with younger children. This is important because it shows children and parents that science attracts creative and unconventional people also, I had a lot of interest from parents that were pleased to know that I also enjoy art, not just science. It takes away the threatening 'isolated genius' stereotype that is associated with Physics and allows conversation about science in a relaxed and creative environment. My colleagues were pleasantly surprised and it was refreshing for them to say they enjoyed seeing the hats around department, some even came down to make their own! |

| Results and Impact | I gave a talk at St. Edmund Hall College Research Expo which was open to the general public and friends of the college. I spoke about my research and the day in the life of a Radio Astronomer. I received a lot of wonderful feedback from the general public that I spoke with clarity and they asked me further questions about the science I was discussing. |
