Blown away by this incredible documentary by Hannah Berryman about Eileen Collins pioneering astronaut, pilot & mission commander. I remember these famous space missions esp Discovery but knew nothing of their heroine. Amazing Q&A w her afterwards too. Beg, borrow or steal a ticket-unmissable!

Absolute #dreamcometrue meeting the wonderful #MaryChapinCarpenter last night. The heartfelt dynamic between accomplished interviewer &lifelong superfan #NicoleTaylor and MCC was absolutely bewitching. Everyone was enraptured. Both so sweet & modest-privileged to hear the beautiful new songs. Lovely

I had a great time at the #climateprotest last week - I know fun isn't really the goal but it was a beautiful day with inspiring talks and the reassurance of being around sensible people who care about the planet and are actually trying to do something about it @ScienceToPolitics.bsky.social #win

This week I did a careers fair at a huge state school for years 7-9. Hundreds of students over 4hrs. Bought a 500 piece jigsaw from Vinted for £2.50 & the kids all helped me do it gradually - worked great & finished in perfect time! Lots of kids said they hated science tho & I tried to argue back...

Walking between our #central #London @kingsnmes.bsky.social campuses can be time-consuming but on crisp #sunnydays like this the self-guided #streetart #architecture #walking #tours really come into their own!

Just for fun I put #sonnet18 into #AlphaFold3 & removed any letters that aren't #aminoacids (mostly O, U & B)-it's predicted #helical with low confidence. This sonnet has been ingrained in my brain ever since it was on all the bus shelters in #Manchester ~1994-at least it doesn't look amyloidogenic

Our fab lab at Engineering Recombinant Proteins workshop last week. We often accuse people of hiring in their own image & looks like I'm guilty too-not for want of trying (but that's what they all say!). Last time our 4 shortlisted candidates all turned out 2 b women w colourful hair & nose piercing

I'm brand new & feeling my way, but excited to be here & still basking in the afterglow of a dream-come-true appearance on the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. Had a wonderful time doing it and got to hang with some seriously interesting people in the Green Room. Happy 2024 all! loom.ly/beNC9ZU
