- A practising astrophysicist for over 35 years
- experienced seeing the Milky Way by lying on a mat in my garden, growing up in a smallish city in the 60's
- when I give astrophysics talks to young audiences, regardless of topic I always try to bring up the idea of 'we need to bring back the Milky Way for our children' by showing pictures of the Milky Way by astrophotographer friends and contrasting that with the earth-by-night pictures
- passionate about astronomy outreach
- write astrophysics pieces for general audiences
- use astrophysics as a tool to perpetuate scientific temper
