I love sharing my passion for and knowledge of science with people. I am interested in writing about space or other scientific concepts for a variety of audiences, and am available for writing opportunities. I also enjoy speaking about space and science to a range of age groups, and have given talks at schools, as well as for general events like Mount Stromlo Observatory's public nights, Pint of Science, and Science in the Pub.
If you would like to get in touch with me regarding any of this work, please email me at eloisekb.contact@gmail.com.Please see below for my recorded talks and published work.
