Nothing like a #WorldBookDay to bring ones Twitter account out of hibernation! Love seeing how involved schools are getting with this day, and all the fancy dress . Looking forward to sharing more from my new project over the coming months

Call me Perseverance. I'm headed for Mars: driven to search for signs of ancient life, test new tech to help future human explorers, and collect the first rock samples for future return to Earth. Follow me. Let's go. mars.nasa.gov/mars2020 #Mars2020

Sketched my partner's uniform as it hung up to dry. To say I’m proud of her is an understatement, no less because last week was her FIRST WEEK as a nurse. How is that for timing? She’s doing amazingly, but if y’all could still wash your hands that’d be great

So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed. Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers. It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff. #COVID19

My other half is currently driving home after a 12 hour shift , can’t wait to show this to her #clapforNHS

It all starts with education

Space Map from 1959: just before we visited any of these places, so it was still possible extraterrestrials lived there.
