Zion Lights is a science communicator and environmental advocate who transforms complex climate and energy discussions into actionable insights. Her evidence-based approach challenges conventional thinking while offering practical pathways to sustainable solutions.
As founder of Emergency Reactor, the UK's first pro-nuclear environmental campaign group, Zion has significantly influenced energy policy debates across Europe and America. Her Masters in Science Communication underpins her work across multiple platforms, including her TED talk on stargazing and her award-winning book, The Ultimate Guide to Green Parenting.
Zion's expertise helps organisations navigate the increasingly complex intersection of environmental responsibility and technological innovation. She provides clarity on science-based climate solutions that move beyond ideological positions to practical implementation. Her unique perspective as a woman of color in science communication enables her to connect with diverse audiences and bridge communication gaps between technical experts and the public.
Audiences leave Zion's presentations with a framework for evaluating environmental claims based on evidence rather than emotion, practical communication strategies for discussing complex scientific topics, and renewed optimism about technological solutions to climate challenges.
Book Zion for a refreshing voice that combines scientific rigour with accessible communication to inspire meaningful action on today's most pressing environmental issues.
Topics, sessions and talks
Zion Lights explores the intersection of energy, innovation, and artificial intelligence, revealing how nuclear power can support the UK’s growing energy demands while driving technological advancement. Tracing the nation’s scientific heritage from Turing to today, she proposes bold frameworks for sustainable progress and outlines how collaborative innovation can deliver a resilient, low-carbon future.
In this globally focused session, Zion Lights examines the narrative, policy, and perception barriers surrounding nuclear energy. She presents new ways to engage public audiences, build confidence, and frame nuclear as an essential component of a sustainable energy mix. Her insights reveal how communication can accelerate acceptance and cooperation across borders.
Zion Lights charts the evolution of science communication, from early scientific pioneers to the digital age, showing how public understanding shapes societal progress. Drawing on her experience as a journalist and campaigner, she demonstrates how to make complex science accessible and relevant, offering a roadmap for inspiring engagement and trust in evidence-based narratives.
Zion Lights confronts the economic and moral complexities of fossil fuel dependency, cutting through misinformation to propose pragmatic solutions for a rapid, fair transition to clean energy. Through clear evidence and compassionate reasoning, she challenges audiences to think beyond slogans and engage with practical climate action grounded in science.
In this reflective and uplifting session, Zion Lights invites audiences to rediscover the wonder of the night sky.

Zion Lights uses a framework-based communication approach, structuring sessions around evidence evaluation tools that audiences can apply directly. She draws on her background as a journalist and campaigner to trace historical and policy narratives — such as the arc from Turing-era science to present-day energy debates — as a scaffold for presenting her case for nuclear energy and science-based climate solutions.
Zion Lights speaks on nuclear energy and its role in the UK's energy future, public perception and policy barriers around nuclear power, and the history and practice of science communication. She is the founder of Emergency Reactor, the UK's first pro-nuclear environmental campaign group, and holds a Master's in Science Communication.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
