Hello, I write scripts and train presenters in a #Planetarium in #Bristol but I'm originally from #Wales. My interests are #science #scicomm #astronomy #history #mythology and nerdy telly like #DoctorWho & #StarTrek. I love #comics, particularly #superheroes and #DCComics and I talk about #TheBeatles far too much.
