How do you measure the distance to the Moon? This talk follows over 2,000 years of ingenious attempts to answer that question, from ancient geometry to modern laser ranging. Discover the remarkable people, clever techniques, and scientific breakthroughs that transformed our understanding of the Earth-Moon system, revealing how one simple measurement became one of astronomy's greatest achievements.
Views: 14 | Enquiries: 0With a unique blend of expertise in psychology, science, and astronomy, my aim is to deliver engaging, thought-provoking talks that inform, entertain, and inspire.
As a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Hypnotherapist, and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, I draw on many years of professional experience to present concepts in an accessible, and engaging way. My talks explore topics such as human behaviour, motivation, decision-making, wellbeing, resilience, communication, and the fascinating ways our minds shape our everyday lives.
Alongside my work in psychology, I am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and regularly present talks and workshops on astronomy and the wider world of science. I aim to make science understandable, relevant, and exciting for audiences with or without a scientific background.
My presentations are carefully tailored to suit the interests and knowledge of each audience, whether professional organisations, community groups, clubs, educational audiences, or conference delegates. Every talk combines accurate, evidence-based information with engaging storytelling, real-world examples, and often a generous dose of humour.
