When Niamh speaks about curiosity, exploration or climate, she's drawing on what she's actually seen and felt. That's the difference between a talk that informs and one that stays with people.

Reporting from where it happens
From the field
From the ice of Antarctica to weightlessness at Star City — what it actually feels like to go to extraordinary places.
Why exploration matters
"Every expedition brings me closer to the moment I want most — to see Earth from space, and help people understand that we are all connected."
Exploration isn't about the places. It's about what those places do to you — and what you bring back. Standing on Antarctic ice, floating weightless, looking out at a Mars analog desert, you start to see Earth differently. Smaller. More fragile. More extraordinary.
That shift in perspective is what I try to share — through journalism, through speaking, through science communication. The Overview Effect doesn't require a rocket. It just requires someone who's been close enough to describe it.
