The Women in Physics group is back with a glorious panel of scientists (including yours truly) from particle, quantum and astrophysics ✨

Mega-hyped to see students from Newham College present a seminar UCL this afternoon on their #orbyts research. Then best practice sesh from Dr Abbie C. Bray Dr Cornelia Hofmann & their partner teacher about how they cocreated the school research project. Should be a cracking next few hours!

The UCL Women in Physics Group has a fantastic speaker tomorrow, Dr Julie Jebsen, addressing the very important topic of Women’s career progression in STEM – come along! All are welcome to attend. DM me or drop me an email for the zoom details ✨ #womeninphysics #womeninstem

Listening to Dr Julie Jebsen about the career progress of #WomenInSTEM . It is all about merit, isn't it?

I have added Dr Julie Jebsen’s talk to the UCL Women in Physics channel! Do check it out. youtube.com/channel/UCxyQh… #WomenInSTEM #WomenInPhysics

The most appropriate sign off I’ve ever used in an email.

Whilst waiting for my latest simulations to run, I have decided to master blackboards… (and petition to bring them back, college wide) #teaching #doesthismakemelooklikeiknowwhatimdoing

UCL has come 2nd in the UK for research power in REF2021. The excellence of research @UCL and its real-world impact has improved since 2014 with 93% of our research graded as ‘world leading’ & ‘internationally excellent’ #UCLResearch #REFResults #REF2021 ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/may/…

Heard @suziesheehy’s book was in store at Oxford. So I immediately sent a dear friend over to pick it up for me (thank you Danny Gold). Can’t wait to read ✨🎉 #thematterofeverything

Proton Beam Therapy Fern came out tonight after a silly person on Reddit tried to scare everyone by saying we’re “technically” all born with cancer, it just lies dormant and randomly becomes active in some people. I wish apoptosis was the destruction of bullshit.

Super super chuffed that Orbyts won the European Research Council 'Inspire' public engagement award this year! So we'll be able to support an extra 10-15 schools next year to get involved with world-leading research projects. 🥳🥳🥳🥳

I’m at a conference solo for the next 2 days… time to remember the people skills I had with strangers that have certainly depleted since the pandemic #pleasebemyfriend

Update: I made friends at the conference but I also feel like the dumbest person in the room. Idk when you’re supposed to shake the PhD fear but that moment can’t come soon enough.

BIG Orbyts news: the amazing Ogden Trust picked Orbyts as their collaborative funding project -sustained funding to support 3 new UK Orbyts Uni hubs for 3 years. So excited to get to offer so many transformative STEM research partnerships to so many school students across the UK!
