It seems surreal to say but today marks 10 years since we started dating. I don't think either of us could have seen where we would be a decade down the line, and I can't wait to see where the next 10 years lead us 💕

Thank you for having me! So many inspiring speakers and a wonderful time as always 🙌
Great presentation Nigel! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise and taking the time to reflect.

Heading down to Dublin for the @irishmuseums.bsky.social Education & Outreach Forum. I'm looking forward to speaking on how we can connect young people with nature, and to hearing all of the other fantastic talks scheduled for the day. Come and say hi if you're attending!

Thanks to @niscifest.bsky.social last night I got to see Steve Backshall give a talk on marine conservation.
It was a really special moment for me as he is one of the broadcasters who inspired me to pursue science communication.
A fantastic event and I learned so much 🐋🐬

Such wonderful, encouraging feedback to our new ‘Wild Ireland’ exhibition at the Ulster Museum. It’s helping people to think about how they value our natural world and how we need to do more to protect it.

Because of flu I'm only just making a start on Amber Isle, but I'm already obsessed. I cannot tell you how cool it is to play a cosy palaeo-themed game that was developed literally opposite the museum I work in. Amazing job @ambertail.games - I'm so excited to keep playing!

A flying visit to London to celebrate the end of Explore: Urban Nature @nhm-london.bsky.social - the new gardens are incredible!
Also my first ever trip to the National Portrait Gallery. So incredible to see some of these historic paintings in person 🤩

Brilliant talk from @ashwhiffin.bsky.social this afternoon on enhancing biodiversity at museum sites. It can be challenging to balance natural interventions with site use and access, but it is possible. Amazing what can be achieved with enough motivation and collaboration between departments!🪻🦋🦊

More evidence of how flawed the shocking Cass Review is.
Cass Review.
New article in the New England Journal of Medicine, founded in 1812 and amongst the most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals. Its 2023 impact factor was 96.2, ranking it 2nd out of 168 journals in the category "Medicine, General & Internal".

Due to the past couple of years being super busy and at times quite stressful, I had been neglecting my embrodiery.
However I decided 2025 was going to see me pick it up again, and I started by finishing this piece I began 2 years ago.

Not Meta genuinely believing that these changes will increase their userbase...looks like I'll be posting here a lot more after I delete FB and Insta at the weekend.

Earlier this week @vmillar2018.bsky.social and I learnt more about Gus the goose from printer, Andy. Gus is an amazing 21 years old and has been at the Folk Museum since birth, so for a third of the museum’s life.
