Thomas Rintoul
Hi! I'm Thomas and I'm an Astrophysics PhD student at the Cardiff University in Wales.
This is my channel where I make videos about Physics, Astronomy and Academia.
I started this channel when I was studying for my Astrophysics degree at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. I graduated in 2023.
I'm a massive nerd that spends far too much time playing video games, painting Warhammer 40K figures and watching Netflix. I'm also a keen musician and Scottish Country Dancer in my spare time.
