Athena and the Tortoise

In Summer 2019 I teamed up with researcher Dr Markus Gellesch to create a comic which would bring research conducted by the UK National Hub for Sensors and Metrology to a wider audience through a fun, accessible medium.

This comic ultimately became Athena and the Tortoise: The Past, Present and Future of Measuring Time, and was launched at the Quantum Showcase event in London in November 2019.

Although the comic was primarily pitched at older children and younger teenagers (perhaps age 10-15), in reality it has a much wider audience engagement, providing interest to undergraduates and investors in quantum technology, and has been translated into various different languages!

The launching of the comic!
