At conferences and seminars in the UK, Europe, and the US, she is most often booked as a keynote speaker. She has chaired conference sessions and worked on event-organising committees.
One of her most-requested speeches describes a journey combining elite sport, space science, identifying and climbing unclimbed mountains, and training to be an astronaut. It is entertaining, inspirational and offers the audience the opportunity to reflect on their own sources of motivation and enthusiasm.
Enthusiastic, engaging, and with a detailed scientific CV and extensive experience, Suzie tailors each speech. Recent subjects have included;
The future of the space industry and exploration of our solar system
Human spaceflight and the return to the moon
Climate change, effective leadership and research culture
Earth observation, and how we can use satellite data for humanitarian and societal good
High altitude mountaineering, writing computer code to identify mountains, and launching expeditions to achieve first ascents (risk, challenge, resilience, teamwork)
Suzie works with many organisations and schools focusing primarily on STEM accessibility, and opportunity for young people from all backgrounds. She regularly hosts school events, podcasts, and awards ceremonies.
