The Little Event was my 1st #SciComm Event back in 2016 when I still wasn't quite sure if it was for me.
10 years & 10 BIG Events later and I've carved out a place for myself in SciComm - including now as Chair of @big-stem-network.bsky.social!
Where could #LittleEvent26 take you?

Still sublingual but these don’t need to be in the fridge! I seem to have gotten off lightly - lots of itching including my face and scalp the first few days and now just an itchy mouth that doesn’t last long.

This platform doesn't have an algorithm for content.
If your default response to seeing something cool is to hit like, take a second to hit the Repost button too.
Especially if it's a cool indie product, a show, some art, whatever.

I still think this is one of the most beautiful pins Robin has ever designed (and given their huge array of gorgeous designs that's saying something!) Go and buy one, now!
In an attempt to finally break even on these trans ferns and clear some space in my flat, I'm running a January sale for the pin versions. For the rest of the month, you can get them for £10 instead of the higher price I usually charge for this full 3d moulding canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4312...

Today I got to see my vocal cords malfunctioning on video & I cannot tell you how validating it was.
No matter how much you know the symptoms are ‘real’, all the ‘tests are clear’s wheedle their way into your brain.

Managed my first swim in well over a month 🥹
Didn’t count my lengths, took lots of breaks and switched to paddling with a float at the first chest twinge.
And I’m now feeling delightfully tired ❤️

Collage has been my go to medium this year - and collaging in hand made books in particular. There’s something about not starting with a blank canvas!
