Scientist and history geek, I am active in my local church singing in the choir and ringing the bells. I love seeing the seasons change. As a family we re-enact some weekends.

Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚

The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602...

This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

On this day in 1963, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space. She orbited Earth 48 times—solo. Her mission became a milestone in both space history and gender equality in STEM. 🌍 💫 🚀

If you were in her space shoes, what’s the first thing you’d do in zero gravity? 🤔
