Katherine is championing science communication for its own sake as Director of the historic Royal Institution

Katherine is the Director of The Royal Institution in London. The Royal Institution is the birthplace of science communication, having been founded in 1799 to 'introduce new technologies and teach science to the general public through lectures and demonstrations'. It is home to the iconic Christmas Lectures which celebrate their 200th year in 2025.

  • The iconic Christmas Lectures
  • How a phone-in science hotline kick-started her career in science communication
  • Making space for awe and wonder, and why that might help tackle the anti-science narrative
