Outreach & Public Engagement
We am passionate about bringing astrophysics and stellar-evolution research to the broader public. One of our flagship activities is the board game “Habitable”, developed at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) to engage families, students and game-enthusiasts in the science of planetary habitability.
