No thoughts, just bookshops 💭

📍Foyles, London

Watched the new Netflix documentary on how consumerism greed is destroying our health and planet 😭

I despise fast fashion and how ‘nothing lasts as long as they used to’. It’s all by design! It’s the developing countries who suffer as a result (e.g your recycled shoes ending up on a beach in Ghana)

Bit surreal to be back in the old lecture theatre where I slowly died doing a physics degree about a decade ago.

Except this time, it was to watch Nobel prize winner Professor Kostya Novoselov talk about graphene, which put Manchester’s sustainable materials expertise on the map 😄⚛️

Hello! I’m Ashika, and I work at the University of Manchester as a science & engineering research administrator ✍️

I’m a maths and physics tutor, and have worked in EdTech and STEM PR/comms ⚛️

I love all things physics, writing, books, tea, and wearing funky socks (just not at the same time). 🫖📚🧦

Fantastic talk about why we need more women in science and the barriers facing them by @athenedonald.bsky.social at the Manchester Lit and Phil last night 🙌🏽

Don’t be a bystander! We all have biases and this is an issue that everyone has a responsibility to help fix and make science more inclusive 💪🏽
