First name Jon Surname Spooner Jon Spooner 4 / 48 FESTIVAL2022\100342 Email address [email protected] Telephone number (daytime) 07930 547 729 Employment status Employed Please provide a short biography or summary of the Participant’s career highlights (including personal website links etc.) Jon is a writer, producer, director and Artistic Director and Chief Executive of Unlimited Theatre - specialising in collaborations with scientists. He has deep experience of working with high-profile researchers from major institutions and in co-production with many of the UK’s leading cultural organisations. For over 20 years, Jon has created live events of all scales for both adult and family audiences across the world. Recent highlights include: ‘You Have Been Upgraded’- sell-out headline performance event for Manchester Science Festival ‘The Astro Science Challenge’- live/online interactive adventure developed with the UK Space Agency, Royal Observatory Greenwich and Met Office among others ’How To Save the Planet’- a show for festivals made with the Priestley International Centre for Climate Jon is a Visiting Scholar at Oxford University’s Wolfson College, working with The Quantum Hub to tell the story of their work towards a Theory of Everything.

Awards include: WISE Champion for inspiring girls in STEM; Sir Arthur Clarke Award for Achievement in Space Education & Outreach; NASA 'Best Mission Concept’; Cuprinol Shed of the Year https://unlimited.earth https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonspo Does the Participant have any specialisms or special interests relevant to the project? I didn’t study science at school. I was told it wasn’t for me. It was never explained to me how ‘science’ was relevant to, or impacted on, my life. I was “creative”. I liked books, music, performance and so I was pushed towards the arts and I became an artist. I studied and practiced making shows and events and I dedicated myself to learning how to get better at it. I met a lot of other brilliant artists and I loved creating opportunities for us to all work together. And one day I met ‘a scientist’. We needed to understand something and they helped us understand that thing in a way that fundamentally changed our perception of the universe. I was 31 years old and for the first time I understood why science was for me and how it related to and impacted on my life. And so for the last 15 years I have dedicated my work to developing relationships with scientists and their institutions in many fields (quantum physics, neuroscience and psychology, space exploration, climate change, human enhancement and biotechnologies), bringing their work to audiences in accessible and engaging ways so they can have similarly life enhancing experiences. Jon Spooner 5 / 48 FESTIVAL2022\100342 What skills, qualities and experience this Participant will bring to the Creative Team? I have spent over 20 years studying and practising not only my craft as an artist and storyteller, but also as a leader. I'm passionate about creating truly collaborative creative environments where everyone feels safe, valued and trusted and is therefore able to do their best work. I'm skilled in doing this with both small and large teams.

    1 Heidi B. Thiemann Research Experience The Open University Milton Keynes, UK PhD Student, Astronomy Research Group, School of Physical Sciences 2017 { 2021 • PhD title: "Variable Stars in the SuperWASP All Sky Survey" supervised by Professor Andrew Norton and Dr Ulrich Kolb, funded by the DISCnet CDT. • Highly skilled in observational astronomy, both photometric and spectroscopic, and in data analysis, including data reduction, spectral fitting routines, and binary and evolutionary modelling. • 100% success rate on PI and Co-I proposals for telescope time, and E.A. Milne Travelling Fellowship. My research focuses on various aspects of stellar variability. I used a recent reanalysis of the SuperWASP archive to discover a new type of binary star, near-contact red-giant eclipsing binaries, which may be the progenitors of red novae. I identified these objects during the creation of the SuperWASP Variable Stars Zooniverse citizen science project, and subsequently devised and led a successful 2 year long photometric and spectroscopic follow-up campaign to characterise the radial velocities of these low-mass giant binaries. I am currently modelling the systems and their evolutionary pathways. Previously, my research focused on using the SuperWASP archive to investigate unique stars displaying a rotational modulation in their light curve with corresponding X-ray observations. By cross-matching with existing large data sets, I characterised the rotation-activity relation for SuperWASP and ASAS-SN field stars.

  • The LPI Celebrates 40 Years!
    TThehe LPILPI CelebratesCelebrates 4040 Years!Years! — Renee Dotson, LPI Staff Writer This year, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) is proud to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Since its inception, the Institute has focused its efforts on cultivating and supporting a community of scientists who lead interdisciplinary research efforts, and remains strongly committed to its service role for the science community and the public. While we look toward the future, we also recognize our past, and would like to take this opportunity to revisit some of the people and events that have shaped the course of the Institute’s history. The idea for the Institute was actually conceived in the mid-1960s. As NASA was aggressively working toward the goal of realizing President John F. Kennedy’s desire to land a man on the Moon by the end of the decade, NASA Administrator James Webb recognized the need to actively engage the academic community in its efforts. At Webb’s request, Dr. Frederick Seitz, President of the National Academy of Science (NAS), met with representatives of 49 universities to establish a Committee on NASA/University Relations. In July 1967, this Committee began to meet under the chairmanship of Dr. Kenneth Pitzer, President of Rice University, and the concept of a Lunar Science Institute developed out of frequent exchanges between NAS and NASA. On March 1, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson visited the Manned Spacecraft Center (MSC) in Houston, Texas (now the Johnson Space Center). After thanking and congratulating the men and women of MSC for the work they were carrying forward, Johnson made the following pronouncement: LWe are close to a landing on the Moon.

  • Annual Report 2018
    1 2018/19 has been a fantastic year for UKSEDS, with more and better events than ever before and the team working together to produce great results. This year, we have made diversity and inclusion (D&I) a core part of our work. We held our inaugural Diversity in Space Careers event in October, partnering with the Royal Astronomical Society to raise awareness of issues in the sector and to talk about solutions. We also created a toolkit to help our branches run inclusive events and have recently created a D&I team to make sure we are doing everything we can to make UKSEDS and the wider space sector welcoming to everyone. SpaceCareers.uk has had a very successful year, with more views and a more diverse range of content than ever. We have received more than 75,000 visitors in the last year, ranging from school students to professionals looking to change careers. We are committed to making the site the best resource for careers in the space sector. For the first time, we employed a summer placement student through the SPIN programme, with generous support from the UK Space Agency and the Open University. Emma Collier spent her summer developing fantastic content for SpaceCareers.uk and has now become a valuable member of the careers team. I am proud that we’re holding our annual conference in Scotland for the first time this year, at the University of Edinburgh. We’ve broken the records for sponsorship and ticket sales, selling out with over 400 people attending. We are also collaborating with ESA, the University of Leicester and the National Space Academy to host the 3rd Symposium on Space Educational Activities in September.
