I regularly give popular science talks, and I am a TED Senior Fellow. I have spoken on topics such as:
• Why things spread and the key factors that drive outbreaks at events including TED2018 and the TED Interview, British Science Festival, 5x15, Harrogate International Festival, and Green Man Festival.
• Games of chance, and what they can teach us about prediction and decision making at events including Talks@Google, TEDx Liverpool, Soho House and Off Grid.
In 2016, I was selected to give the British Science Association Rosalind Franklin Award Lecture and my Royal Institution talk on the science of luck has been viewed over three million times.
My research and writing been profiled by media outlets including The New York Times, The Times, De Standaard, El País, and O Globo. I have also contributed to documentaries including BBC Horizon, and given interviews about outbreak analysis to broadcasters including BBC News, Channel 4 News, CBS, CNN, ITV News, and Sky News.
