Sam Shingles

Science Engagement Officer
Engagement and Society

Sam helps to deliver events and programmes that aim to raise the standard of evidence in public life and equip members of the public to ask the right questions about the claims they see in their lives.

He studied Physics with Planetary Science at the University of Leicester. During this time he got the bug for sharing all that was great about science and space with others and inspiring younger generations to become interested in these topics. His background is in science communication and public engagement, trying to break down complex science into accessible activities and content. He has worked at places like the National Space Centre delivering activities that would fascinate visitors about the wonders of space, and travelled out to Malta to help deliver the annual science festival and encourage science engagement in the country.
