Next Tuesday (24 March) I am feeling very much like an imposter by being in a Stand Up comedy line up with the very impressive @olafurw.com and @iszi.com! You should definitely come. wegottickets.com/event/695274/

It's probably because I am boring but I love socks. Generally the weirder I can find the better and I try to find a new pair every time I travel. Salzburg may have found me the greatest pair I have ever seen.

It's almost time for #Scratchvent! Rather than buying an advent calendar, we have been influenced by @quizzydan.bsky.social to buy 25 scratchcards instead. It makes you the talk of the local village shop and completely puts you off gambling the rest of the year. Maybe 2025 is our year!

Halloween pumpkins from last night. 🎃

Had a wonderful time at the @lateralcast.com live recording. Here is just a sample of the lovely people I met. @icklenellierose.bsky.social the ever so fun @tomscott.com the ever so tired after hosting a live show @mattgrayy.es the ever so not scary @kipheath.bsky.social the ever so curious

Back to school! I have two study buddies for my weekly Welsh class.

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

My work buddy (until the hot room was open for sunbathing!)

Quick walk down to the polling station to vote!

Had lots of fun blending into the background at Science Showoff Cures All Ills last night. Photos by @drstevex.bsky.social

Major bucket list item ticked off in Norway. We went dog sledding in Geilo and it was so much fun.

Been in Norway for three days and eaten so much incredible gluten free food I may never go home.

Look who I found in Norway. @kipheath.bsky.social my question buddy on @lateralcast.com Thank you for the lovely chat.

Catching up on some paperwork whilst acting as a pillow. #Caturday

A clip from last week's @lateralcast.com where so many of my niche subjects come up and make me look much smarter than I really am.

The episode where the things I obsessed over as a child all came up! (Autism has some uses after all).

Spent the afternoon talking about the Scientist Training Programme with @claireprice.bsky.social's students and am heading home with this fabulous new friend, courtesy of Claire's 3d printing skills. 😊

The best new cat toy in the house. #Caturday

Proving that my tactic of being annoying until I get what I want has worked- stickers are back at Puzzle Pint!! Thanks @gareth.fyi 😊

Spent the nice in an Abbey feeling very fancy and exploring the cold grounds.

Happy New Year from our calm and quiet household.

I've seen so many photos of incredible culinary accomplishments today so balancing it out with my "post-natural disaster" gingerbread house. Merry Christmas all! (The natural disaster clearly being my clumsiness)

Back from my quick trip to Warsaw. Saw some fun sights, learned to make pierogi and came home feeling Christmassy. 🎄

From polio survivor to medical pioneer, for #DisabilityHistoryMonth, Kip Heath delves into Florence Seibert’s lifelong fight against infectious diseases on our blog: royalsociety.org/blog/2024/12...

File this one under: things I really should have got much earlier!

Eight years since my husband officially topped all other Christmas presents. And eight years since Nox shuffled out of the carrier, had a quick sniff and immediately decided H's lap was the place to be.

EP. 114 HIGHLIGHT: What do these giant wooden balls do? Featuring Kip Heath (@kipheath.bsky.social), Carson Woody and Ólafur Waage (@olafurw.com). youtu.be/YQUgPN6Yw6Q Full episode: lateralcast.com/episodes/114

Had a lot of fun at Taskmaster Live today! (And not just because of my shiny new bling. Or more specifically, the cat's new toy).

Enjoyed learning about Thomas Edison for this piece as part of #DisabilityHistoryMonth royalsociety.org/blog/2024/11...

🚀 Save the Date! Science, Fun, and a Dash of Welsh Magic! 🧪 Join us for the Merthyr Science Festival on Saturday, 5th July 2025! Expect experiments, and enough brainpower to light up the Valleys! Mark your calendars, because missing this would be scientifically unwise! 😉

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree. Your ornaments are history!

H (my husband) is probably working Christmas day again so am banking all the wife points by pretending to be a ManU fan. I think he's happy.

The Scrabble gods did not like me this evening.

Went for a tour of Wembley Stadium and got to sit in the best seats (just with nothing on the pitch 😆)

Last time I saw Yellowcard I needed my parent's permission as I was still 17. 🙈 Excited to embrace my teenage nostalgia.

Had a great time last month at Chelmsford Science Festival talking about the time I hitchhiked through Sierra Leone 📸 @drstevex.bsky.social

Last day at home alone so making that cats unhappy by disturbing their naptime. #caturday

STOP THIS IS A CRAFTING PIC CHECKPOINT. Please share a minimum of (1) picture of your crafting WIP before proceeding. Recommended action after sharing the pic is to craft instead of doomscrolling. Thank you.

It's been a long week but one for celebrating. 😊

I have finally taken the plunge and have added some of the 3D prints I have designed onto Printables. This is a massive step for me! You can check out my models here: www.printables.com/@ClairePrice...

At the Science Museum Lates and running the 'Dicing with Disease' event. If you fancy your chances against fluffy drug resistant gonorrhea for XXXXL size stickers then come and say hi. 🦠

Yesterday I completed my 100th End Point Assessment (EPA) which is the final part of an apprenticeship programme. Over the last five years I have spent my non-working days speaking to a 100 (!!) healthcare scientists about their experiences. Proud to have been a small part of their progression. 😃

Apparently it is international cat day. To celebrate, these jumped me at the door, demanded to be let into the hot room and then ignored me all afternoon. Still the cutest a-holes in my life.

Voting day! I'm in a safe seat but I still think it's important to show willingness for change.

😋

Holidays with my fave human in ludicrously hot place. (44°C today!). Lots of fun.

Slowly converting the conservatory into a greenhouse. 🍓🍅

Kudos to the St Albans 10k folk for a good medal!

Taking @imascientist.bsky.social into the real world! After meeting MK College online during a chat, met the T Level students for a face to face session this afternoon to discuss career opportunities.
