I run an instagram account called FizzyPhys and through the platform I want to share interesting science related stories and life working in STEM. On top of this work, I have presented with the University of Cambridge and at the London International Youth Science Forum.
These are some posts I have enjoyed making, but my full page is here.
If our interests align, I'd love to work with you and please feel free to contact me via email (me [at] kentonk [dot] com).
