           Not a bad start to the work day. Thought I'd have a wander around. Not going to lie though, I only have to download a new Assassin's Creed game and I'm thinking π€ "I can climb that easy, even with one hand"π€£

             Loved the @LAIKAStudios exhibition at MoPOP. Coraline and Kubo are lovely films and it was great watching the videos on how the models / stop animation was done.

             Very weird but tonight I should be on #insidethefactory talking about the #science of light with @cherryhealey Amazing to see @BBCTwo and @Voltage_TV highlighting #stem folk that don't "look like a scientist" Just hope I didn't say anything silly π

             What looks like a shiny black surface, upon closer inspection, suddenly starts to look like a tiny city that #STORROR could do some great parkour on. Images on a scanning electron microscope at x15k and x25k magnification

             Some awesome, thoughtful reads on this list from some great scientists and comedians. And a trashy, yet on brand #DnD book from me π Do check out @cosmicshambles and their great charity work

             First time at one of the newer Rock Over Climbing centres. Nice to be bouldering back up north π Nice staff, plenty of climbs and the tunes are awesome. Nice

             It was my pleasure to speak at a Turing+ event yesterday at DSIT. We spoke on how to attract, retain and make the most of our #LGBTQ colleagues in #stem Always nice to see @DrCarpineti of @PrideinSTEM& the @RoySocChem as well as hear the experiences of @CSOSue and @rozcampion

             Weβre delighted to announce @ClaraMBarker as the new IOP Inclusion and Diversity Representative. Dr Barker says: βI look forward to working with different groups who share a passion for physics but feel they cannot achieve their maximum potential.

            @DaphneJacksonTr @RomaTheEngineer A nerdy little point, but Seven Sisters always makes me think of the daughters of Mystra from the #ForgottenRealms of @TheEdVerse

            @DaphneJacksonTr @RomaTheEngineer A big engineering challenge for the future - step free access at all tubes (it looks like Seven Sisters is/is becoming step free). The bigger challenge, making all tube stops wheelchair/pram accessible. A big challenge, but one we can and should work towards.

             There are some amazing engineers featured, and I'm stoked to be representing Seven Sisters - sharing a line with Ada Lovelace and Nikola Tesla - with Alan Turing and Sir Marc Isambard Brunel in close proximity.

             Just got a result that seems to confirm a theory I had 15 years ago (& couldn't test back then) Only got to test it as I was trying to repeat what looked like a rogue result. Total 'fist in the air' moment Love it on a Friday eve & so glad I got the chance to return to research
