A quiet day today, but some lovely conversations ranging from a discussion of the latest hints of possible early life on Mars, to the challenges of nuclear power station safety training. Oh, and how did the Romulans in #StarTrekTNG use #BlackHoles to power their spaceships? #QuestionOfTheMonth

Some more nice chats today with the #QuestionOfTheMonth for Dr Harold leading to a fascinating discussion about the use of radioactive materials to treat thyroid cancers.

Looking forward to our annual summer-holiday special Chat, tomorrow with Dr Harold returning to meet and discuss, and perhaps eat some lovely Popsy's cake!
