This year I discovered you can DOI software... and it’s been a game-changer! After years of working on my web apps (fuelled mostly by insomnia), I’ve finally given my projects the recognition they deserve 😃 Check out the newly revamped 404normalnotfound.co.uk

I loves a pylon, I do

I was lucky enough to read early drafts of this book. I've also read the published version (which I bought so this isn't an ad!). It truly encapsulates Olle's ethos of science communication and the world. If you have any interest in science or science communication, this is a great read!

Proudly presenting "The Communicating Scientist" - a communication handbook by Joanna Bagniewska (@joannabagniewska.com), Sarang Park, and Olle Bergman, with illustrations by me 😄 Link to the book: link.springer.com/book/10.1007... 20% discount with this code: SPRAUT

#JobFairy 3 year Postdoc in Public Engagement around Personalized Medicine at the Uni of Copenhagen (Medical Museion). I've had the privilege of being a visiting fellow here & taking part in CBMR events & think this is a great opportunity for someone in #histSTM or #STS as well as #Scicomm people.

Finally did the mods I've wanted to do since Easter! Better later than never I suppose...

This has to be the greatest thing I've ever been given (or maybe second to my champion care bear I got given for one of my birthdays as a child). At @merthyrscience.bsky.social today, a random child gave it to me as a thank you 😊

@merthyrscience.bsky.social is in full swing!
