I’ve been giving talks, speeches and stand-up comedy routines about materials science to public audiences for a decade. Examples include:

  • Broken Gears and No Ideas: Life as a Materials Scientist

  • Handmade: A Scientist’s Search for Meaning Through Making

  • The Science of Swimming the English Channel

  • Smart Materials
