In this episode of Book Science, I'm joined by physicist, oceanographer, BBC presenter, and author Dr. Helen Czerski, a world-class communicator of science and an expert on all things ocean and bubble.
We talk about her most recent book, Blue Machine: How the Ocean Shapes Our World — a sweeping, human-centered tour through the ocean’s role as a planetary engine. We discuss how her background in physics informs her writing, her playful and cinematic style, the challenges of scientific storytelling, and why books still matter.
We also explore:
- The hidden structure behind ocean storytelling
- Why physics is for everyone
- The importance of curiosity and perspective
- Her work with the Cosmic Shambles Network
- Featuring Indigenous voices in ocean science
- The power of books as immersive tools for understanding
