Tamsin Edwards's biography

At a glance

  • Climate scientist specialising in ice sheet predictions
  • Lead author for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
  • Award-winning communicator and public speaker

Professor Tamsin Edwards is a climate scientist focused on the uncertainties in climate model predictions, especially regarding ice sheet and glacier contributions to sea level rise. She was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report published in 2021. Tamsin advises the public, policymakers, media, and businesses on climate science. She serves as the first Parliamentary Thematic Research Lead for Climate & Environment, guiding the UK Parliament on research evidence for legislation and debate.


An accomplished communicator, Tamsin shares her insights through various platforms, including Twitter, her blog for the Public Library of Science, PLoS (All Models Are Wrong), and articles for The Guardian. She co-presented the BBC Radio 4 series '39 Ways to Save the Planet' and frequently appears as an expert commentator on news outlets such as BBC News at 10 and ITV News.


In addition to her research, Tamsin teaches at King's College London, making her a compelling speaker. She draws from a broad range of climate science research, making audiences better informed and motivated to discuss climate issues. Her work includes exploring predictions for ice sheets, sea-level rise, and their impact on coastal flooding and using information from recent and palaeoclimates to enhance future predictions.


Tamsin has delivered talks at various prestigious events, including Cancer Research UK, Blue Dot Festival, Royal Geographical Society, Space Rocks Festival, and UK Government departments. Her expertise and engaging style contribute to a deeper understanding of climate science and its societal implications.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.

Have all the speakers on the website worked with PepTalk before?

Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
