Bio
Christian P.
I can honestly recommend Reuben as a role model scientific communicator and speaker. I have attended a number of his presentations at both the University of Alberta observatory and at Royal Astronomical Society meetups. His expansive and deep knowledge of astrophysics excites my scientific curiosity as well as instilling Carl Sagan-level wonder in me. He is always impeccably-dressed in a suit and imparts a professional vibe during his world-class public speaking roles. He inspires me to continue to achieve greater skill as a scientific communicator, public speaker and scientist.
