Beyond delighted to have been selected this year as a member of the #TeamGB squad for the 2025 FIR World Team Championships in Rotterdam.
2024 was incredible captaining GB5 to bronze in the third tier Challenge Cup will always be a Racketlon highlight, but I'm really excited to step up to the O40s

It is time I think for #science to unify ourselves. We need to come together and loudly say that from now on...

Today is the 81st Anniversary of the D-Day landings, and one less well-known element is the role of Group Captain James Stagg and his weather forecasting team. This is a great video on the forecasts, why they mattered, and how it changed the world:

It had been a long day (started at 5:45am) and we are wrapping up now, but what a day!
The Fresh Eyes on CMIP (@wcrp-cmip.org) threw a workshop across three continental hubs with science talks, panel discussions, practical sessions and networking. It was a crazy idea but hopefully a beneficial one

A bit rude to rock up, follow a bunch of people and then fire out a gazillion Eurovision based messages!
More voting today, family trip to Bristol so my wife can vote in the Polish Presidential election.
I promise, some actual #science soon!

I get the parachute something in, but after #London2012 with Bond and Her Majesty the Queen, I don't think anyone can top that, so why try? #Eurovision
