My #ScienceWeek reading.
I was trying to be good and not buy any new books until I finish some of the ones sitting on my shelf. Couldn’t resist this cover though.

It’s the end of Science Week here in Ireland, and something positive I’ve noticed is that more organisers every year are including accessibility as an operational cost in their event budget. Still a lot of work to do, but it’s an important step in the right direction.
