18 months on, and this still feels surreal, even for a clued-up #scicomm pro! A clinic in another part of the country can access the implant INSIDE my body to check that I am safe. 🤯 Flippin' marvellous! 🫀😀 #ACM #AVC #ARVC #cardiomyopathy

This time of year = Site visits and consultancy. Bit soggy under foot, but lovely sunny spells are a bonus. 🙂

It's actually a great comfort knowing that it is there, keeping an eye on me. It's saved my life once already. 🫀👌😃 #heart #cardiomyopathy #ARVC #AVC

I have a little drummer tapping away under my ribs at a perfect 50 bpm. 🥁 Typical investigative physicist... I keep tweaking my posture to see which positions allow me to feel it. I should probably get out more. #cardiomyopathy #AVC #ARVC

Site visit today = Site boots dilemma. Clean footwear makes a good first impression. Dirty boots look like I've actually done site work before. I think I'll just dust off the sheep poo and leave the mud in situ.

When I am big and grown up, I want to go to conferences and communicate through the medium of purple modelling clay, rainbow lollipop sticks and sparkly pipe cleaners. 🙏😀✨🌈🦄 #SciComm

Routine #HIV testing in emergency departments has led to more than 1000 new diagnoses and it's helping to stop new transmissions in #England. Opt-out testing saves money, removes stigma, and finds people who would otherwise not receive a test. www.bbc.co.uk/news/a...

Back from a much-needed holiday. This is my favourite photo from the week. Any guesses as to where this was taken? 🤔

Less than 24 hours into the role and new information has come to light: There has never been a risk assessment of this flame-emitting ignition source. This is utterly reckless. I think I have my work cut out.

What the? I've posted a link to a self-directed CPR course and the preview has been blocked by moderators. Hey @support.bsky.team - what is going on? #HeartMonth cc @thebhf.bsky.social

Just 15 mins, folks. You could make a huge difference. You never know when you might need to use CPR. It happened to me on a bullet train whilst whizzing through northern Japan - a nearby passenger went into arrest. Thread: #HeartMonth

Happy place: 🔔 @bristolcathedral.bsky.social ringing chamber 🔔 I've spent many hours up here over the years and did some stints as Ringing Master many moons ago. Today, I'm here with the Welsh Colleges Society of Change Ringers. #bellringing

We've moved on to inventing our own #SciComm movie characters. Ours is a skiing hairdresser. The big ears make them a good listener, vital for being an effective engager. #UKSFN

I'm at a conference. The current presentation features a photo of the Coventry ring road. This is way too much excitement for a Friday afternoon. (Radford Road junction, I think?)

It is #LGBTplusHM25, but did you know that it is also #HeartMonth? Do you know CPR? It's never too late to learn or refresh your CPR training? Lots of info and advice at @resuscounciluk.bsky.social.

Mmm. Lovely. Good to go. AFAIK I am not a mutant. Others may disagree. 😄 I don't have orange saliva. The colour is due to the preservative.

I'm spitting here. Literally. I'm offering a DNA sample for a genetics/cardiomyopathy study. Better get back to the spitting. 🤤

Lovely to join the Ancient Society of College Youths' practice at Birmingham Cathedral today. The ringing room was rammed! I am now dodging drunk people on the train home. See what I did there? 😄 #bellringing

Can a spider have more than eight legs? If not, then there is a mutant in Birmingham Cathedral. #bellringing

Looking back through some of my early day #SciComm stage show pics. This was taken at the British Science Festival in Aberdeen (2012?). Can you spot the subtle #LGBTQIA reference? #PrideInSTEM

Welcome to the 21st UK LGBT+ History Month! Celebrating 20 years since Schools OUT first launched UK LGBT+ History Month in 2005. Thank you for making it such a success! This years #LGBTplusHM25 theme is ' #Activism & #SocialChange' Find out more: lgbtplushistorymonth.co.uk/lgbt-history...

Continuing the new month theme, February is LGBT+ History Month. It encourages a focus for schools, in particular, to delve into history and discover LGBTQIA people from the past, many of whom were unable to be true to themselves. #LGBTplusHM25

I get it now. It's illuminated, in't it? The conceptual "rabbit" gradually fades over the month. And then you summons a new glowing one on the first day of the next. Sorted.
