10 years ago to the day I went to my first conference, MMC. It’s since been my favourite conference! Today I went for lunch with the lovely @alicepyne.bsky.social whilst she was at MMC and got the chance to go in and see the exhibition with Nova who is 7weeks old today! What a treat 💖🥰

I’ve had my 1st teaching allocation this year and it’s been an experience. I’ve been eased in with 4 amazing MPhys students, who made the whole thing a lot easier for me. Last week I received this feedback. I know it won’t always be easy, but this definitely makes it feel worth it!
