Jon Chase. Ran by qualified Science communicator and professional science rapper Jon Chase, Rap Science blends together two of his passions, science and music. Using his unique approach to communicating science, Jon engages audiences with music that fuses different elements of science into specially produced raps and videos. Accompanying the raps are various demonstrations and activities that have been incorporated into a selection of imaginatively produced workshops for various ages and abilities. Jon Chase is a science communication practitioner and trainer, author and science rapper, based in the UK but affiliated with Leiden University, Netherlands, where he developed training materials for the EU funded GlobalSCAPE project. He has spent more than fifteen years doing science shows at venues across the British Isles to all audiences and has co-authored a number of popular science books, including The Science of Star Wars and The Science of Jurassic World.  He has also presented and talked about science and technology on numerous television and YouTube channels. In 2017 he was awarded the UK’s Josh Award in Science Communication but he’s perhaps best known for his science raps, which he has produced for organisations including NASA and the BBC.
