Public Engagement and Outreach Fellow/Tactile Universe Project Lead, University of Portsmouth

Dr Nic Bonne is a blind astronomer and science communicator based at the University of Portsmouth. He leads the multi award winning Tactile Universe public engagement project, which is creating accessible resources to help blind and vision impaired people engage with astronomy. By making our educational resources free to download and 3D print, and by training others to deliver them to their own communities, the Tactile Universe has reached audiences across the UK and internationally. Nic has also consulted and advised on a number of other projects focusing on accessibility, including the recent BVI accessible planetarium show 'Audio Universe: Tour of the Solar System'.
