After graduating, I didn\u2019t have any grand plans for a career at all\u2026but I had the opportunity to do an internship at Jodrell Bank Observatory for a year in their education team. Talking to schools and the public about the huge radio telescope there was an amazing experience, and I soon realised I enjoyed chatting to people about space way more than researching it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve followed a career in science communication ever since, training to be a physics teacher before moving to Edinburgh to design and present planetarium shows for Dynamic Earth science centre. I now work for The University of Edinburgh, where I coordinate outreach for the European Space Agency\u2019s Euclid space telescope &#8211; a mission to explore the Dark Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1985,"template":"","events_category":[68,57,67,63,64],"acf":{"age_restriction":["8 and over"],"start_date":"2026-02-05 14:01:46","header_before_event":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Seeing into Space\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OYknoKmgJP8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"header_during_event":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Seeing into Space\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OYknoKmgJP8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","live_chat":false}],"header_after_event":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Seeing into Space\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OYknoKmgJP8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"short_description":"Have you ever wondered how we map what is in space?
