About me
Clare Kenyon (aka RedLippedAstro) is an astrophysicist and science communicator with a flair for lifting the veil on the mysteries of the night sky, space and everything in it. Her research takes her deep into the heart of very energetic galaxies called quasars to the central supermassive black hole within.
Clare’s an ambassador for women in STEM, and is really passionate about outreach and media – including public talks, tutoring, mentoring television, radio, social media and podcasts. She relishes any opportunity to challenge commonly held stereotypes, particularly those held by young women, of how women in STEM ‘look’ and ‘act’. Clare believes in giving everything a go and not being afraid to try something new or follow your interests to new horizons.
