A personal post from me. This week we'll be saying goodbye to my Mum, who passed last month. She was the most incredible lady, gentle, kind, brave, determined, full of grace and always with the most beautiful smile. Here's my favourite photo of us both, from a long time ago!

I had a week off and the highlight was a visit to the Farne Isles. Lots of beautiful little puffin!

I've seen an entire year of this tree at Sheffield Botanics. It's a beautiful tree, I love spending time near it. In the current world, it's important to take time to appreciate the wonder still here 🥰

Bright and early on my way to Leicester for first #NIHRTeamScience team coaching session. First team activity of our new award. More to follow...

Sometimes academia really makes me smile for unexpected reasons. Flowers from a former MSc student I taught in ~2017. We dont always know the impact we make.

It's #NationalEngineeringDay, and this years theme is #EngineeringRoleModels... Here are two of mine ☺️
