Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock PhD is a space scientist whose passion is presenting science to a general audience and demonstrating that you 'don't need a brain the size of a small planet' to understand, participate in and enjoy science.

She has spent her career making novel, bespoke instrumentation in both the industrial and academic environments including working on the James Webb Space Telescope and various satellite monitoring climate change.
To further share her passion for science, in 2004 Maggie founded Science Innovation Ltd. Through this company she conducts public engagement activities, sharing her love of space and encouraging underrepresented communities to take up STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. To date Maggie has directly spoken to well over 600,000 people around the world. As well as public speaking she is a Bafta-nominated TV presenter, co-hosting the world's longest-running science television program The Sky at Night.
Her recent children's book Am I Made of Stardust? won the Royal Society book prize.
