Listening to the Jurassic Park audiobook while running really adds that extra bit of motivation. Can't think why πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ¦– πŸ˜…

I enjoyed chatting with Clara Nellist @particleclara.bsky.social about the early universe, quantum computers, and quantum thermodynamics on APS TV at the Global Physics Summit this March. @apsphysics.bsky.social youtu.be/jJmQUlocPHM?...

I'm not always 100m underground, sometimes I can be found up a mountain too. #scientist

Making a video isn't what takes the most time as a content creator, it's picking which face I'm pulling as I talk I can tolerate most as the thumbnail πŸ˜…

One problem with being British is that sometimes I genuinely mean "it would have been nice" as "I would have liked that" and not always as "you should have done this", but everything I write sounds passive aggressive to me πŸ˜…

@robertkirkman.bsky.social I just finished season 3 of Invincible (excellent!), but I need to know: In S2E4, when Omni-Man tells Mark: "She's tearing you apart", is that a nod to The Room or just a coincidence? πŸ˜„

I'm mad that no one ever recommended Murderbot to me before now because the trailer looks incredible!

Why are people writing control+f in my comments? I thought it meant 'condolences', but it doesn't seem to line up. Can someone explain it to me? πŸ˜…

My signed copy of Everything is Tuberculosis by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social has arrived! If it wasn't for medical research into treatment for this disease, I wouldn't exist. My grandfather (right) got tuberculosis as a young man and spent time in Salterley Grange Sanitorium in Gloucestershire.

I tried to install my new GPU in my PC today. Turns out my old GPU is so old, I need to change the power cables, and that was a bigger job than I planned (because the extra cables are in the garage and I need to get to the power supply) so it will need to be for another evening πŸ™

I recently saw a post about how destroying door panels (in Sci-Fi) will either open the door or keep it closed, depending on what the plot requires and now i see it every time someone shoots a panel πŸ˜…

Breaking news! CERN has found quantum entanglement in sheep! πŸ‘ πŸ‘

I don't know what I clicked, but Facebook keeps recommending flat earth stuff to me and I don't think it's ironically... 😬

Tour of the anti-matter factory at @cern.bsky.social with none other than @particleclara.bsky.social as our guide. Clara talking about the ALPHA-g experiment, while spokesperson Jeffrey Hangst is discussing with a colleague: what are the odds? 🀩 Movie about APHA-g: www.youtube.com/watch?v=prhm...

Happy Saturn ring plane crossing day to all who celebrate.

πŸ“£ Exciting news for #teachers πŸŽ‰ #ESAEducation are thrilled to announce the 'ESA Teach with Space' online conference 2025. 🌠 Join a two-day online event on 9-10 July where teachers will have the opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of space and beyond! www.esa.int/Education/Te...

βš›οΈDAY 3 of APS TV is NOW LIVE!βš›οΈ Physics experiments can take decades & without training up the next generation, physics wouldn’t move forwards. Join APS TV as we find out how the @apsphysics.bsky.social is helping the physics community do it. #APSSummit25 youtu.be/bb--vJVkp68

βš›οΈDAY 2 of APS TV is NOW LIVE!βš›οΈ APS TV is back for another day of content direct from #APSSummit25 – hosted by Stephen Horn & particle physicist @particleclara.bsky.social, join us as we chat to some of the physicists at the forefront of quantum science! @apsphysics.bsky.social youtu.be/gD2e08n4AHY

Arrived in Anaheim for the APS Global Physics Summit! If you're at the conference and we pass each other, do say hi πŸ™‚

Thank you @particleclara.bsky.social for this very nice explanatory video about our #KM3NeT_UHE #RecordNeutrino observation!

Watch @particleclara.bsky.social, Nikhef researcher and TikTok star, talk to her colleagues about the wonderful @km3net.bsky.social results published in Nature last week! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aziv...

Scientists at @km3net.bsky.social have recently announced the detection of the highest energy neutrino ever recorded - over 100 peta-electronvolts (PeV), making it the most energetic elementary particle ever observed!

Hopefully enriching the mind of my 5th years. Tyndall lecture in UCC

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

Whooooaaaa! πŸ”­ Euclid caught an Einstein Ring around a galaxy that is only ~600 million light-years away. The ring is the light from a more distant galaxy that's not been observed before .... that one's at a distance of 4.4 billion light-years away. www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
