Outreach
A home for the podcast and the wider outreach work: producing Growing Worlds, speaking publicly about exoplanets, and building projects that make astronomy feel more open and human.
Growing Worlds
Podcast
A non-profit podcast I created, co-host and produce from Cardiff. It features interviews with early-career researchers in exoplanet science, making research careers more transparent and relatable while supporting a healthier, more inclusive research culture.

To make research careers feel less distant, show the people behind the science, and support a culture that feels more open to early-career researchers.
Students are involved at every stage, from research and interviews to editing and publishing, and are trained in scientific outreach and science communication as part of the work.
