Christmas present ideas for physics enthusiasts in your life ⏬
*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

Looking forward to this year's Nine Lessons! There are still some tickets left if you're near London 😊
Ok. That's the run orders for all four shows of Nine Lessons done. They'll change about nineteen times between now and the shows, but we have to start somewhere. Dec 18, 19 & 20 at Kings Place. Tickets from www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/nin...

Today I found out that a bunch of Gen Z folks I know don't eject USB sticks before removing them from a computer. Is this a universal thing? I'm genuinely curious.

Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes.

Out of curiosity, do I know someone (who knows someone) who counts spiders in rainforests? I want to use a short clip of them working for a video and I'd love to use a real scientist. #spiders

A massive thank you to the folks from the STFC & Boulby Underground Laboratory for showing me around for #DarkMatterDay!
We went 1km underground & I spoke with people who do this every day to better understand how our universe works. It was such a unique experience & I can't wait to show you more!!

If you're near #Cardiff, book tickets to this, you won't regret it!
We always try to get Nine Lessons shows beyond London - it is never profitable but we hope it makes it accessible for others - This year is CARDIFF - but no one seems to want to come - so we will pull it next week if we see that it is going to lose us too much money
