Oakham Town Council has co-opted a new councillor for the Oakham South Ward: Professor Jonathan Nichols. With a distinguished background in space physics and a long-standing commitment to the community, Prof. Nichols brings a unique blend of scientific expertise and local knowledge to the council.
Professor Nichols is a university professor who specialises in space physics. His professional experience extends beyond academia, encompassing project and budget management, as well as working with young adults. This combination of skills is well-suited to the practical challenges of local government. His passion for science is evident in his public outreach, where he frequently gives talks on space and astronomy to schools and societies, inspiring the next generation.
