I’ve visited @kielderobservatory.bsky.social and @herstmonceuxobs.bsky.social this summer. Have I been to the most northern and most southern observatories in England?

Day 1 of my new role at @meimaths.bsky.social. Have just been made a ‘enjoy your first day’ breakfast by #boy2. Nothing better to kick off a new job than coffee, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate and a brioche. To be eaten with a spoon.

The rich collaboration went 'further' than sharing resources and included digital role models and cross-partner events.
Do have a read of the final impact report:

The activity was diverse: from virtual labs and STEM trucks to TikTok videos and alumni-led workshops, reflecting the diversity of the young people the partners aimed to reach. Importantly, 74% of young people reported more positive attitudes toward physics after engaging with the programme.

Outside of my day job I was very pleased to be asked to be involved in evaluating the hashtag#PlanetPossibility consortium of grassroots charities, universities, and education partners across the UK. Over three years this consortium reached nearly 95,000 people.
