Angela Lamont – “Making sense of science & engineering”

Angela_Lamont

With over 200 BBC broadcast programmes, a BAFTA, a TEDx talk and literally hundreds of conferences, award ceremonies and live events, Angela specialises in presenting science, technology and engineering, making them engaging and easy to understand, but without ‘dumbing down’.

She has presented from BBC Television Centre, Buckingham Palace, the top of a volcano in Japan and from a fishing boat in a force 8 gale (whilst doing her own sound recording, as the sound man was out of action below decks).

Now also a science producer, topics she has covered recently include nuclear, wind and fusion energy, nanotechnology, cyber security and autonomous vehicles, to name just a few.

Angela thrives on making potentially complex subjects engaging and enjoyable, not only for her audiences but also to encourage young people into industries where they can change the world for the better. She has previously performed at BSBF 2018 and BSBF 2022, so she already knows the community well.
