If anyone is keen on a talk about student co-creation or building the planeterella then let me know #aurora #Physics #NTU.
A team @NottmTrentUni has developed a 'planeterella', an instrument which can simulate the Earth's magnetic field and mimic the effects of the northern lights. @ian_c_whittaker, senior lecturer in physics, explains how it works 👇👇👇. @ntu_research @NTUSciTech

We have managed to get a paper published on our budget planeterella. Worth noting the three authors are an academic, a student, and our technical lead. If you want a school/library/business visit with the kit then let me know on my academic email.
Published in #RASTI RAS Techniques & Instruments: "Building a low budget planeterella for auroral outreach incorporating physics student co-creation principles", Whittaker et al. This is Fig. 2: read the paper at @OxfordJournals @RoyalAstroSoc

This is the first one I have had in physical print for a while, must be getting closer to presenting my own space tv show 😉.

Not often I get on TV and my first time with a live translator. It was good fun and happy to do it again! @NTUNews @NTUSciTech.

Been a while but have written about the upcoming lunar landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission:.

The Indian spacecraft could lay the ground for future missions with astronauts, and even for lunar bases.

Urgent email says "baby plum tomatoes swapped for medium tomatoes", @HelloFreshUK please note 1 single salad tomato is not the same as a pack of baby plum tomatoes and this is the same for two other seperate meals, surely you could have popped a few more in. ?

As the hourly tweets from @ucu and @DrJoGrady say "every university is on strike" let me just remind you that it's not actually all universities. We are not striking although we do support our colleagues who are. #ucuRISING. Students are still being taught (face to face) as usual.
Contrary to claims by National UCU and subsequent reports in the media, at Nottingham Trent University there will be no strike action this term. (1/2).

Requested an update on why my paper had been sitting idle with a journal for three months after submission and I get back :. "I am rejecting your article on the basis of its abstract". This isn't normal right. ?.@AcademicChatter.

Just a reminder that league tables such as this are based on statistics that have nothing to do with the quality of teaching or chances of a student getting a high quality degree. Equally so the Russell Group designation. it means nothing. @thetimes.

So guess what we are now going to discuss in my year 1 astrophysics lecture tomorrow. this absolute mess of a statement to the Science and Technology committee and the subsequent excellent responses from women in physics #WomenInSTEM.
