In 2017, I had the opportunity of a lifetime to be selected as a student of NASA United Space School… …and now, in 2023, I have had the AMAZING opportunity to come back as a Mentor for the Program. NASA changed my life trajectory completely. It’s awesome to be back! 🚀

Day 1 of United Space School - Team Selection. This group of (extremely intelligent) teens will be designing a Martian Habitat for long-duration missions. They’re a fun bunch too 😎 #NASA #Mars

Now I’ve had some cool experiences so far, but having a tour of NASA’s Rocket Park by the person it’s named after is prettttty cool. George Abbey 🌝 Former Director of the Johnson Space Center 🌚 Oversaw the selection of the first female/minority astronauts #NASA #RocketPark

Well that’s it! 2023 NASA United Space School, over and out! Some highlights: • Met 3 Astronauts! inc Kenneth Cockrell, Mike Baker & Bill McArrhur • Meeting George Abbey again! • Working with this wonderful team of mentors 😎 • Mentoring students from across the Globe 🌍

Well, moving to Switzerland didn’t quite go to plan 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ #airtrafficcontrol #easyJet

#ZNZ Neuroscience Symposium 2023! Some really fantastic speakers/posters. Some of my favourites - Sheena Josselyn for their brill (and funny 😂) talk on the engram and Prof. Frank Bradke on his work on axon regeneration. Not a bad week to start a #PhD 👩‍🎓 in a whole new country 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ➡️ 🇨🇭

Really failing to understand how immunohistochemistry or a western blot can be described as ‘woke’ 🙄🙄 Just in case it wasn’t clear before, this government has lost the plot #VoteThemOut

🎉🎉🎉 Huge congrats to such a great team. Well done everyone on this huge milestone! And big shoutout to the team at Kings - miss you all 🥰

Controversial (?) take but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a 3-4 year degree to hold some value. Especially considering how much it costs to get it? “You should take a pay cut! That’s how it works!” - Sounds to me like the education system itself needs reworking 🤔

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus Pawb! Happy St David’s Day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🌼 Whilst I may have left my Daffodil hat at home in the move to 🇨🇭, do enjoy these photos of us celebrating last year 🌼

Despite arriving late on Friday, this bad boy DID get posted earlier this week. Time for some change around these parts, don’t you think? #GeneralElection24

After a horrible Six Nations, Wales record their first win of 2024

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably

The Welsh flag has a dragon on it. Come on now.

hi everyone! Little announcement: I’ve also moved to bluesky (username: Astro-beth.bsky.social) if you want to follow me on there! 😇

This year’s Cosplay Contest was a heartfelt tribute to Peachy, who sadly passed earlier this year. A true inspiration and a cherished part of the Dota 2 family. ♥️ SteelSeries We thank everyone in Barclays Arena for the beautiful gesture of remembrance. #Dota2 #TI2025

All for a debate but why people are fighting this is a bit silly. Most countries in Europe have an ID, it’s actually more bonkers that in the UK it’s your passport (which is expensive) or driving license (which some people don’t qualify for) 🤨🧐
