Absolutely amazing time at #LondonPride yesterday.
So happy to be there with the @royalsociety.org supporting #STEMforAll
Bonus my new Converse turned up the day before, which I hadn't expected.
In times of hate, so amazing to see the love

Wonderful session at the @egu.eu conference in Vienna. Lots of great initiatives and a fantastic panel to be part of. Lovely evening to finish off.
Posts to come next week about a few of the wonderful people I spoke to.

Is this the year I master the slackline?
Probably not. But I'll give it a good go.
For me, the fun is trying. I don't have to master everything just try the things I want to try.
And I don't mind a fall. Only way I'll get better!

Last night I went to a queer boardgame group, Oxford GAYmers. I used to be a regular and intend to regain that. Plenty of cis-gay men and women who have no issue with me using the bathroom and joining games.

Great to be at the Royal Society of Chemistry EDI day today. Especially to hear the results of the LGBTQ+STEM inclusion grants.
We need to fund scientists now for them to achieve max potential. (& not just LGBTQ+ scientists).

Awesome day at the Royal Edinburgh Observatory today, celebrating #IWD. Inspiring to meet so many awesome people and I even got a tour of the facility including the old telescope. So cool. Thanks to Edinburgh Uni and STFC for hosting me (and the Cooper Bears) #edi #stem #science

Hi everyone,
We are still recruiting for people living in the UK for our project.
We are looking to hear from LGBTQI+ people who have felt they needed to change/pivot their careers in STEM due to a hostile environment - but how you define this is up to you.

Looking forward to this next week.
It'd be great to see a bunch of you there.
I spent so much of my life, over 30 years, growing up in Manchester.
So many amazing friends and awesome nights out, but never really being my true self.

I'll just add a quick #sidequest to the adventure, the next session isn't until tomorrow...
Oh how quickly my ideas swell. But have they spiraled?
Pretty sure I can get my prep done for tomorrow, right? Right? 😁

Not a bad start to the work day. Thought I'd have a wander around.
Not going to lie though, I only have to download a new Assassin's Creed game and I'm thinking 🤔 "I can climb that easy, even with one hand"🤣

Very weird but tonight I should be on #insidethefactory talking about the #science of light with @CherryHealey
Amazing to see @bbc2 and VoltageTV highlighting #SciencePeople that don't "look like a scientist"
Just hope I didn't say anything silly 😅

What looks like a shiny black surface, upon closer inspection, suddenly starts to look like a tiny city that #STORROR could do some great parkour on.

First time at one of the newer Rock Over Climbing centres. Nice to be bouldering back up north 🙂
Nice staff, plenty of climbs and the tunes are awesome.
