Winner of FameLab, PhD Hypersonics Leon is a rocket scientist; he researches how air flows over things at several kilometres a second. This really only applies to rockets, re-entry vehicles, a few missiles and a plane or two. Missiles aren't really his thing but Leon thinks the rest is awesome. Leon believes science communication is as important as the science itself. In many aspect of life science is becoming an ever growing authority, with scientific facts winning arguments and driving government policy. This has given science (and scientists) a new position within society, with many looking to us for answers. Leon doesn't think this is a position in society that science ever really wanted. He knows it is not one he asked for and it's a position that he believes science isn't quite ready for. This is why science communication is so important. If people want a say in the world science is creating for them tomorrow, we need to be talking about it today. 

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
