Education
Czerski was brought up in Altrincham, near Manchester and educated at Altrincham Grammar School for Girls.[9] She is of Polish ancestry. She graduated from Churchill College, Cambridge with degrees Master of Arts and Master of Science in Natural Sciences (Physics) and a PhD[10] in experimental explosives physics, particularly Research Department Explosive (RDX).[2]
Broadcasting
Czerski is a regular science presenter for the BBC. Her programmes have included:
- Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey, a three-part series on BBC Two, March 2012, co-presented with Kate Humble.[11]
- Operation Iceberg, a two-part series on BBC Two, October 2012.[12]
- The Transit of Venus, BBC Two, June 2012, Horizon.[13]
- Stargazing Challenges, BBC Two.
- Dara Ó Briain's Science Club, BBC Two.
- The Secret Life of the Sun, BBC Two, July 2013.[14]
- Pop! The Science of Bubbles, BBC Four, April 2013.[15]
- The £10 Million Challenge, a Horizon which launched the Longitude Prize 2014.[16]
- What's Wrong with Our Weather?, July 2014, Horizon, co-presented with meteorologist John Hammond, which examined the possible causes of Britain's recent extreme weather and what connects all the recent extreme winters.[17]
- Super Senses: The Secret Power of Animals, a three-part series for BBC Two.[18]
- Colour: The Spectrum Of Science, a three-part series for BBC Four on the 15 colours that tell the story of the Earth, life and scientific discovery.[19]
She has also appeared on the Museum of Curiosity (BBC Radio 4).
Czerski has a regular column in BBC Focus magazine and was shortlisted in for columnist of the year at the 2014 PPA Awards.[20]
Research
Czerski's research[21] focuses on ocean bubbles, bubble acoustics, air-sea gas transfer and ocean bubble optics.[8][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]
