Happy world egg day egg fans.

Tomorrow is another egg scoring day for @Helen_Gray_ @JessMartinLab and me. We’d like an egg based play list but have quickly run out of egg related songs. Suggestions welcome however tenuous.

Our lab is working on an open source sensor (accelerometer+). It’s being developed with dogs and cats in mind but we will likely use it for chickens too and could be used for other animals. We’d love your help to come up with a name for it. Other suggestions welcome

After returning from a work trip to London I find we have a few new office mates.

Newcastle has been running a scheme to nominate inspiring women and send them an anonymous positive message. First what a lovely scheme, thanks ⁦for encouraging positivity. Second whoever nominated me I was really touched by the message! 😭

Right Twitter really fed up with seeing anti trans posts. Please if you feel this way unfollow this account. Or for that matter if you feel any other people are less than you. We use Twitter to post about our fun science but it isn’t fun when people are spreading hate.
