Appearances
Our scientific research has seen a great deal of international publicity over the years. We pride ourselves on reaching large global audiences over a multitude of different platforms.
Our team have featured in TV legacy documentaries, children’s TV shows, academic, popular and industrial magazines and websites. These include some big names such as National Geographic, New Scientists, Popular Science, The Economist, New York Times to name a few. Articles featured our projects have also been featured in outlets such as Wired, The Atlantic, Newsweek, The Engineer, Marine Technology. We have regularly popped up on YouTube and frequently give public lectures around the UK and further afield.
Our global reach has been independently calculated to be 7.6 billion people worldwide within the last 3 years alone.
