About me

My name is Helen Klus. I am interested in the meaning of life, the universe and everything and so have spent the last few years studying philosophy and physics. I have a BSc in Astronomy and Philosophy (University of Sheffield, 2006), an MA in Philosophy of Physics (University of Leeds, 2008) and I am currently in my first year of a PhD in Astrophysics (University of Southampton). In my spare time I enjoy writing science and science fiction and I was shortlisted for the Wellcome Trust Science Writing Prize 2011.

You can contact me through my Facebook or Twitter pages or by leaving a comment below.

About The Star Garden

The Star Garden contains a blog which is regularly updated with articles relating to science, particularly physics and astronomy. It also contains articles on the history and philosophy of science, a selection of quotes and a timeline of the history of the universe. This shows when events would have occurred if the universe was a year old; the Solar System would have formed on the 3rd of September, dinosaurs would have lived between the 25th and 30th of December and humans would have evolved at 23:52 on December 31st.

The Star Garden is not yet compatible with Linux, I will rectify this as soon as possible.
