Benjamin J Wilcock

Hello, I’m Ben — a science programme manager by profession, and an explorer of ideas by instinct.

My background is rooted in astrophysics and science coordination, where I help guide space missions and research programmes from concept to launch. But beyond the data and deadlines, I’m driven by a deeper curiosity: how science and story intersect to help us understand our place in the universe.

Whether I’m managing satellite programmes, writing or hiking into the wild with a notebook in hand, I’m always looking for the connections between nature, space, and the human experience. I believe that science is not just a method — it’s an adventure, and like any good story, it starts with a question.

This site is where I collect some of those questions — in writing, projects, photos, and reflections from the field. I hope you’ll find something here that sparks your own curiosity, whether it’s from a glacier in northern Sweeden, a distant exoplanet, or a thought that won’t quite let go.
