Travel with the babies… I can’t say I cherish the memories of sleep deprived nights followed by exhausting and long conference days. I could only make it work, as we could afford my mum tagging along, a huge privilege as she had to come all the way from Germany!

Can my 6 year old spell scientist? No. Have I held a beaker (?) in the past 15 years? Also no. But at least in his world, this is what a scientist looks like. 👩 🧪🔭

My brilliant postdoc Steve Cunnington (technically now a Stephen Hawking Fellow at Portsmouth but Im not quite ready to let go…) has won a well deserved prize this week and looked very professional receiving it!

We caught the partial eclipse today! Grateful to @astroroyalscot.bsky.social posts, I would have totally missed it otherwise.

I dutifully alarmed the school class whatsapp, but Im afraid I just caused utter confusion. 🔭

Lunchbreak looked a bit different today. Gotta make the most out of the snow while we can - and schools are closed…

Never gets old. What a privilege to have this majesty at our doorstep and have the kids growing up with it 🔭🧪

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #247,152! Not too bad…

Oh look at this beautiful, professional photo of me … waving a Lego wand. 21cm, if you know you know.

Absolute honour to speak at #9lessons @cosmicshambles.com in Manchester this year!
