Michael Gregory, set out to ride across Canada to see what teachers are doing in the classroom to engage their students. This started a journey that has not only led him to other countries, but also start a Science camp that brings together students from around the world to explore science in a practical and engaging way. Listen to his story, and at the end see a great way to model how masks prevent the spread of disease

Tara Murphy is an astrophysicist whose claim to fame is that she and her team discovered the radio emissions of the first neutron merger that was detected by LIGO in 2017. On top of this she studies massive objects such as black holes and neutron stars. And on top of this she communicates science through public talks and writing as well her love of coding. And she love apocalyptic literature!edit.

Dr Helen Georgiou left the classroom to make a contribution to science by becoming an educational researcher. Her work is particularly focused on physics education and her work is helping educators teach concepts more effectively in the classroom. Watch and listen as she shares her work, and why she decided to become an educational researcher.
Dave Fish works at Perimeter Institute, an organisation to advance theoretical physics research. His role: to produce educational content, targeting high school students. that engages, and helps students develop a deeper understanding of Physics. In the interview, we discuss his work, what inspires him and provides sage advice to students who with to explore a career in the sciences.
