Seven Questions with... Nour Skaf

Nour Skaf - This week, Nour - who was recently awarded the L'Oréal-UNESCO Prize for Women in Science - chats to us about her favourite spot in London for cheese samples and an exciting (and insomnia inducing!) planetary discovery. What are you studying, why are you interested in this subject and what do you plan to do in the future?. I am a PhD candidate in astronomy and astrophysics. I study exoplanets - planets that rotate around stars other than the sun. I have been passionate about the universe since high school, it is for me a lot more than a scientific topic. I would love to be able to continue doing research and to push the limits of human knowledge. Sharing my knowledge with science communication is also dear to my heart. What is the most interesting thing you've done, seen or got involved with while at UCL?.
