Dark matter, explained at stands, in classrooms and on camera.

I was the social media manager at CAPA, the astroparticle centre at the University of Zaragoza, where I led the content team: scripts, filming and editing, end to end.

If you run a school visit, a science festival or a podcast and want someone to explain axions without equations, get in touch.

Featured video

Neutron stars, in 60 seconds

One of the short explainers I scripted, recorded and edited for CAPA: the densest stars in the universe, in under a minute.

More of the centre’s videos are on its YouTube channel, and its newsletter rounds up what the group is working on.
