Conversations in STEM with Chris Lintott.
Have you ever wondered what an Astrophysicist does?
How do you even become an Astrophysicist?
How can you ‘discover’ a galaxy or supernovae?
Chris is a professor of astrophysics at the University of Oxford, where he is also a research fellow at New College. As Principal Investigator of the Zooniverse, he leads a team who run the world’s most successful citizen science projects, allowing more than a million people to discover planets, transcribe ancient papyri or explore the Serengeti. A passionate advocate of the public understanding of science, he is best known as co-presenter of the BBC’s long running Sky at Night program.
