Services I offer

My hope is that I can offer my services to any individual, organisation or group, whether corporation, school or church.

I am available to give audio-visual presentations, talks or courses on topics ranging from practical astronomy for adults and children; human evolution with special mention of my various trips to hominid fossil sites such as Sterkfontein, Makapan and Koobi Fora (Kenya); philosophy of science.
