From baking meringues to meeting an ESA astronaut —
What a weekend!
Baking in Space came to Dublin & Dundalk, ending with a packed house and families in awe as @ESA astronaut Rosemary Coogan took the stage.
This is why we do what we do. 💫

Back from #IAC2025 in Sydney — capturing the human stories shaping our future in space. My North Star is to bridge those rooms with the world beyond. Next stop: home to Dundalk for Family Space Day, Oct 11 — bringing space down to Earth. 🚀🌍 #SpaceWeek

Good morning from Sydney excellent public transport! After a short 33hr hop from Dublin, I’m excited to share the best space stories this week from IAC, the largest annual gathering of all the major space players, incl our very own @esa.int. Looking forward to the week ahead. #australia #iac2025

Just back from a week in Helsinki where I hosted the morning briefings at #EPSCDPS2025 Congress. The city surprised me - quiet beauty, gentle light, and time to walk, think, and reconnect with science, art and family.✨
