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 🐋🐬

Bad news for team asteroid, good news for squishy humans. Yay!
☄️ 🔭 The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%.
Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’
If this trend continues, the risk may soon reach 0%.

Ancient human remains uncovered in a Co Londonderry bog are believed to belong to a young woman who lived around 2,000 years ago.
The discovery has been hailed as “one of the most important archaeological discoveries on the island of Ireland”.
