Lucie Green (born c.1975) is a British science communicator. Since 2005 Green has been a Royal Society University Research Fellow (previously the Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellow) at Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) of the University College London (UCL).〔〔 Green runs MSSL's public engagement programme and sits on the board of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD) of the European Physical Society and the advisory board of the Science Museum.〔 An award winning science writer, television and radio presenter and science communicator, Green has a passion for engaging the public with space science and astronomy.〔 Perhaps best known for her work on The Sky at Night, in 2013 Green became the shows first ever female presenter following the death of Sir Patrick Moore.〔 Green's research focuses primarily on the atmospheric activities of the Sun, particularly coronal mass ejections and the changes in the Sun's magnetic field which triggers them.〔 ==Early life and education== After an early interest in the care of animals, Green studied at Dame Alice Harpur School in Bedfordshire gaining 9 GCSEs and 4 A-levels and 1 AS, including art and physics.〔 She has frequently returned to her old school to discuss her research. Fiona Clements, Green's Physics teacher at the school, has said, “She is a great advocate for young women in science and we are proud that she continues to remember the school by returning to talk about her research to pupils."〔 "I always liked physics from an early age while I was at school. That was my passion: problem solving or asking questions and then finding out ways of answering those questions. But I never had a burning ambition of being a space scientist, and I wasn’t even into amateur astronomy (that time )". After completing her A-levels, Green took a year out during which time she studied art. Then after deciding to pursue physics, Green completed her undergraduate Master of Physics degree in Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Sussex, graduating with a 2:1.〔 Whilst there, encouraged by visits to the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, Green decided to do a PhD in solar physics at MSSL which she completed in 2002.〔 "I read Physics with Astrophysics at the University of Sussex and whilst there made a couple of trips to observe the Sun at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, close to the Black Sea. It was this solar observing that sparked my interest in solar physics. I discovered that the Sun isn’t a bland and quiet object but rather it has an active and extended atmosphere which affects us."〔 "I think I saw the light whilst I was sunbathing on the beach, if you'll pardon the pun! Then I joined the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, in Surrey, and started studying coronal mass ejections."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lucie Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
