Cox was presented with the award at a private ceremony at the Royal Astronomical Society in London on 2 October, by co-founders of Starmus, Sir Brian May and astrophysicist Garik Israelian. STARMUS is a global platform for science, art, and human inspiration that brings together some of the most brilliant minds on the planet.
The medal, established by Starmus with Stephen Hawking a decade ago, honours outstanding science communicators across disciplines and creative forms – from literature and broadcasting to music, film and art – who are helping bridge the gap between science and society, spark curiosity and make science accessible to all.
