Super day in Newcastle with local mp + chair of @UKParliament science committee @ChiOnwurah visiting physics businesses. The need for more physics based skills + better science infrastructure keep cropping up, key themes of the IOP’s @PhysicsNews strategy:
iop.org
The IOP’s vision for change, setting out the action we must take to ensure physics can achieve this potential.
Excellent visit today with chair of @UKParliament science committee @ChiOnwurah & IOP's @TomGrinyer to two of Newcastle's shining tech-sector lights, Inex Microtechnology Ltd & Connected Energy. Discussed investment in R&D, diversity in physics and toured the Inex clean-room.

Looking back over the year a highlight for me was being appointed a trustee of the @PatientsAssoc. Today they launched their Christmas appeal. The target is £4,230 - just £1 for every person their helpline has supported in the last year. Please help if you can.
🌟We've launched our first ever Christmas appeal! Our Helpline supports thousands of people every year who have questions about health and care. With your support, we can continue to provide guidance, information, and empathy to those in need. Donate here:
