Matthew is a highly engaging public speaker and presenter. His innate passion, razor-sharp intellect and desire to educate and raise awareness is cloaked in humor and layman’s terms. He makes science accessible to all with environmentalism at its core. He makes it fun, inspiring and he is on a mission. In fact, he openly shares his mission statements with the world and they are:
-To make Science as accessible as oxygen
-Ignite curiosity
-Harness Science media to combat environmental destruction
-To encourage innovation and courageous thinking
Matthew is with me to share his journey so far, his challenges, his hopes for the future AND a whole lot of Scientific facts.
