I'm Inés, which rhymes with space, and I'm a a bilingual science communicator, both online and on stage, and a PhD student researching the biomechanics of insect flight.

About

Smile.jpg
 

It all started when...

I'm Inés Dawson, a bilingual science communicator and a DPhil student at the University of Oxford researching the biomechanics of insect flight.

I run the award-winning bilingual YouTube channel Draw Curiosity, making science stories interesting and internationally accessible, as well as the Spanish channel Inés-table.

I'm also an enthusiastic, engaging and entertaining educational speaker.

 

Features Overview

Here are my ongoing and finalised projects that I've worked on:

 
 

Draw curiosity

Draw Curiosity is a bilingual award-winning science website and YouTube channel. It is a place to stimulate people's curiosity and entertain them as they learn new things about the world. The videos, which are captioned into English, Spanish and occasionally other languages too, are complemented with more information online. 

INéS-TABLE

Inés-table is a Spanish science YouTube channel. Following popular petition, and adjusting to the individual needs of a Spanish speaking community, I also produce...

SPEAKING

 

My mission is to make science as entertaining and accessible as possible. I strongly believe that science output and scientific thinking should be given greater prominence outside academia, more so in the current post-truth climate.

Terence E

“Inés is an exceptionally talented speaker. Her attention to detail is obvious to anyone who watches her well researched and professionally produced YouTube SciComm videos. In public talks, she leads her audience on a journey of discovery - supplementing her logical progression with her quick wit and friendly delivery. I always learn something new whenever I see her perform”

Terence Eden, Digital Troublemaker and Unicode Wizard

Naveed A

“Inés was a guest speaker at a special Pint of Science Event in Oxford, which aimed to raise money for those in need through a donation to Oxford Homeless Pathways. Inés delivered a talk with great clarity and poise, conveying complex mathematical modelling of insects in flight with simple language and excellent use of video. Her presentation style, tone and pitch captured the audience. A thoroughly enjoyable presentation, which demonstrated excellence in her knowledge and commitment to research.”
