Helen has also co-created live shows and panel discussions around the book, and presented these at several venues, including The Royal Institution, The Edinburgh International Science Festival and QEDCon, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6bbf8464b05f8d372d4b5b/1530571098212-YHE0ANQBSXLH8ZGPVYWB/cropped+SoGoT.gif Welcome - Making wildfire at the Royal Institution, London https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6bbf8464b05f8d372d4b5b/1530575095768-T5P8V0PPL0ZO6UPOXD9X/Science+of+Game+of+Thrones+Startalk+Helen+Keen+Neil+deGrasse+Tysonn.png Welcome - With Neil deGrasse Tyson & Michael Ian Black on StarTalk, Museum of Natural History, New York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6bbf8464b05f8d372d4b5b/1530620455603-XJOVQ1ZJL4V3MV8FSRPK/cover+art.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6bbf8464b05f8d372d4b5b/1531936128189-9SEVMBLZ5GYYACK0S5TV/robotwomanoftomorrow+copy.jpg Welcome Helen's debut show, It Is Rocket Science, previewed at the Buxton Fringe, was nominated as Best Show, and won the Best Individual Comedy Performer award. After a successful Edinburgh Fringe run, the show embarked on a nationwide tour of festivals before being commissioned for BBC Radio 4. Subsequently Helen has created several inventive solo comedy shows. Mixing science, history and personal experience on diverse topics such as 19th Century Arctic exploration, and the future of robots, she has performed sets based on these shows at venues ranging from European Space Agency to the Natural History Museum to the Hammersmith Apollo. Helen was appointed the UK's first Comedian in Residence at a scientific institution (Newcastle's LIFE), where she co-produced and compered 10 sell-out shows featuring academics from a wide variety of disciplines, and recorded possibly the world's first planetarium show with jokes in. She continues to develop innovative, pioneering performance ideas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a6bbf8464b05f8d372d4b5b/1599586092229-9SQWIHCNSULHOWH76NTK/Screenshot+2020-09-08+at+18.27.32.png Welcome In September 2019 I started studying for a PhD at the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, University of Exeter. I was diagnosed as an adult with mild ASC and I'm working with other autistic people via an 'engaged research' process. My work focuses on how autistic people experience loneliness and connectedness to others; my research supervisors are Prof Manuela Barreto and Prof Kerrie Schaefer. In August 2020 I was commissioned by BBC Radio 4 to make a one-off programme about autism diagnosis in adulthood, particularly as it relates to women, those assigned female at birth, and non-binary people. This was based on a series idea developed by me and Rami Tzabar. Producer Deborah Cohen and I spoke to autistic people who were diagnosed at different stages of adulthood to hear their stories of how the diagnostic process affected them, and how it could be improved for different underserved populations. I also interviewed autism researchers (some of whom are also autistic) about why a data gap exists when it comes to work with adults, and how the involvement of autistic people is changing the nature of autism research.
