Thank you for your fantastic contribution to our live event. You were energetic and inspiring; it was brilliant for our viewers to get an insight into your unique experiences and knowledge. I even received one comment that you should have your own TV  series. I wholeheartedly agree!

 Lisa presented an opening speech at "An evening with Neil deGrasse Tyson", which attracted over 4,000 attendees. The feedback was of utter delight, as Lisa engaged the audience, made them feel excited and really ready to get thinking! Lisa is very confident, knowledgeable about science, has a great sense of humour and is very likeable. We believe she has the capacity to make real change within the area of science and beyond.
