Making Sense of Science & Engineering
READ MORE ABOUT ANGELA HERE
With over 200 BBC broadcast programmes, a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), a TEDx talk and literally hundreds of conferences, award ceremonies and live events to her name, Angela specialises in presenting science, technology and engineering; making them engaging and easy to understand, but without ‘dumbing-down’.
She has presented from BBC Television Centre, Buckingham Palace, the top of a volcano in Japan and from a fishing boat in a force 8 gale.
Now also a science producer, topics she has covered recently include solar, wind and fusion energy, liveable cities, autonomous vehicles and an award-winning film about smart bus stops, to name just a few.
Angela thrives on making potentially complex subjects engaging and enjoyable; not only for her audiences but also to encourage young people into industries where they can change the world for the better.
