Begin Again with Davina McCall · Is Your Purpose Written in the Stars? How the Universe Can Guide You | Dame Maggie Aderin · 12 Feb 2026 podcast

But we're looking up and trying to be part of this amazing cosmos.

I think that's what's so exciting, the great unknown.

The ultimate exploration.

And also, as humans, we don't want to be alone.

I want to talk to you about the likelihood of there being life out there.

Sometimes I get nervous and I think, OK, am I nervous or am I excited?

So I am here with Maggie Adarin and I am, let's just in fact say it properly, Dame Maggie Adarin, I can't wait to talk to you about that, who is an incredible space scientist but also such a passionate educator and positive energy and promoter of sciences for children and a teacher of space and all things mysterious in the universe.

She's an absolute legend and an icon, and I'm very proud to be talking to her today.

Maggie.

Hello.

Hi.

That was quite a build-up.

I'm nervous now.

Don't be nervous at all.

It's you.

You are it.

So what inspired you to start looking at science?

Because it really wasn't...

You know, when I was growing up, we weren't kind of encouraged to do science as girls at school, really.

No, no.
