      Haha not yet! I got some calls from a radio station a few years ago when I did some cool stuff on how the temperature in the Solar System changed billions of years ago when planets like Jupiter were forming, but that’s all so far.

      Maybe if I just work a wee bit harder David Cameron will call next month!

      I haven’t met the prime minister, though I often go on the news on TV to explain the latest science stories. Recently I was on TV talking about asteroids and meteors. I’ve met famous people that way I guess.

      I got to go have some drinks at the house of the British ambassador here in Chile a few months ago! He had a politician visiting from the UK, and so wanted to gather some people living and working in Santiago who were making an impact here on behalf of our country. There are only 5 British astronomers at ESO, so we were invited to attend and talk about what we do. I love being able to share my passion for space, especially when it comes with free food! 😉

      Haha, not yet! Maybe one day! We’ll keep working, and see if we get some love from a famous person. 😉
