Good news! I've been hearing about the Rolls Royce small modular reactor for years so the design will be pretty advanced. A hiring spree will see a reinvigoration of skills, and highly skilled jobs for many dedicated people. thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/… #nuclear #Job #RenewableEnergy

Cheer me up please! I should be in Germany by now, on my way to meet Hohman Lab Group who are doing some really cool science at the European XFEL. Instead I'm stuck in some sort of weird comedy. If you're in Heathrow Airport, please say hi! I'll be here a while 😔

I'm back home from Germany after a very surreal journey, ready to plan more great #podcast episodes with Technically Speaking, do more writing and storyboard a documentary! #scicomm

I learned a lot from Antonia in this one. Figuring out if something really is sustainable is hard! Some aspects can analysed using an input-output model, but other bits are more of a philosophy.

I said this in the most recent Technically Speaking ep which was all about the hunting strategies of animals: my hopes of seeing a shark in the water near my hometown are kept alive!

When your airline tells you to get to the airport early but there's no-one here, even though it's about 6 pm. It's gonna be a long wait! #Airport #Japan #travel

This is such a great article. Lots of facts mixed in with positive emotive comment. Very persuasive! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

This was such a fun interview! Sergey and Louis did a great job of walking me through their research which could lead to more energy efficient data storage and processing. Fundamental discoveries like this can mean big things for energy use and hence the climate emergency.

Yes! I want this in my life, ever since I did the Technically Speaking episode with @eleanor_higgs about what materials science can learn from nature: phys.org/news/2022-10-a…

The first ever space launch from the UK got us thinking about some of the things we discussed in our episode about space exploration, especially the advances in technology. What do you think? What else would you add? UK Space Command Virgin Orbit UK Space Agency Virgin Orbit #JWSTPhoto

It's amazing what can be achieved with teamwork and ingenuity. We made this entirely from hazel that we copiced. Thanks to West Cumbria Rivers Trust for giving volunteers like me an opportunity to make something for our local community. #environmental #conservation
