Talks

I am a warm, engaging and passionate public speaker enticing audiences to fall in love with rocks, fossils and landscapes. I deftly weave together my unique insight on science together with my life experiences to deliver thought provoking lectures that inspire and motivate audiences to come on a journey with me.  

I am an experienced event host, panellist and Chair with the ability to captivate an audience, ask critical questions and provide thought provoking debate on contemporary issues relevant in my field.

I design bespoke lectures as per your brief or I can offer a talk from my public speaking portfolio:

  • “20 years, 95 miles, 185 million years” The Jurassic Coast: A Celebration

  • “The Time Travelling Rock Machine”, the geological evolution of planet Earth

  • “How to talk about Rocks and Influence People”, exploring the art of science communication and applying these skills in your setting

  • “Black and brown faces in green spaces”, discussing barriers and solutions to enhancing diverse engagement with natural spaces

  • Jurassicgirl Journey, a motivational speech focusing on how I have overcome major traumas and obstacles in my life to achieve success.

 

I believe that strong role models like myself can inspire scientists for the future. I offer discretionary 30 – 60 minute virtual sessions for educational and youth group settings limited to two events per month. Although I do not charge a fee for this service, I ask for a small donation to Mary Anning Rocks where I am a Patron. Please use my contact page to submit an enquiry.

     

For all other public events and lectures please contact my agent, Helen Purvis at Knight Ayton Management.
