$Dr Helen Czerski - Tips for Existence Teaser First and foremost, Dr Helen Czerski is a physicist. A bubble physicist. Shes also an oceanographer, a paddler, a climate activist, a writer, a broadcaster and, of course, a key member of the Shambles family. She is currently a Research Fellow and lecturer in the department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London where her research focuses on ocean temperature and bubbles and air-sea gas transfer. She is the author of a Ladybird book on Bubbles and the best seller Storm in a Teacup: The Physics of Everyday Life. In 2018 she won the William Thomson, Lord Kelvin Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics and is an Honorary Fellow of Churchill College at Cambridge.

Helen is a regular on The Cosmic Shambles Network presenting series such as Science in Zero G and co-hosted Sea Shambles, as well as the weekly Science Shambles livestream show with Robin Ince. * * * Once the meaning of it all was simple, if at times also cruel and/or barbaric. The Universe was made by a god, sometimes omnipotent, sometimes fractious, sometimes both. Now, as we explore the Universe and start to explain ourselves, the Universe has started to lose it single meaning and we have to find individual meanings ourselves. This is Tips for Existence where Robin Ince talks to cosmologists, composers, astronauts and authors about what gives them meaning.
