Hello lovely Bluesky 👋 please help me find people who would enjoy my free online course, 'Storytelling Foundations'. Particularly #STEM #PhD students, but also #research and #marketing teams in #tech, #science and #engineering industries. It's 25 vids in 30mins and my hair looks great throughout

Shouldn’t Britain’s Silicon Valley just be the train line from Liverpool St to Cambridge?

The zombie of cold fusion staggers on, forever dead, forever hungry. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Why have London bus stops become so obsessed with anal glands? This is not a phrase I need to see fifty times a day.

Brew Dog is Tesla Beer.

Honestly if someone had told me how much of academia required you to be popular and enjoy working with other people I’d’ve taken that masters in forensic science & become a cop instead.

I'm slightly out of touch: who is currently working on nineteenth-century medicine? #skystorians Especially interested in PhD students, early career folk, anyone doing jazzy, exciting stuff? Is that you? Someone you know? Ty! ✨

The argument for winding up Oxford University gets stronger by the day www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Really admire @deevybee.bsky.social stance here. I hope Royal Society listen as he has egregiously breached many standards and ethical codes

The Sokal hoax is so funny if you've ever been anywhere near academia and are even a little honest with yourself. "I got a shitty, nonsensical paper published!" Yeah we've all had to get management off our back before mate, nobody's impressed.

Look everyone @lescarr.bsky.social is here and now I want to make a starter pack of people who are very clear that AI won’t solve that problem you want it to solve, and can express that in jokes.

Made another highly specific apology card.

Hey Americans feel free to leave us everything in your will.

What does “sorry for cross-posting” mean? Is it just a warning that an email is spam?

Now building the History Showoff starter pack and I’ve missed loads of people. Do help me find the people I’ve not spotted on this app yet go.bsky.app/HWfXRcX

Building up some starter packs so you can find your favourite performers easily. Here’s the Science Showoff acts I’ve found so far: go.bsky.app/4C5zvpD

Also London. Also all train lines. Also the countryside.

Everyone follow @oispooky.bsky.social who is a historian of fighting. She’ll always answer “who would win in a fight between these two historical figures?” questions.

Some brilliant guerilla #sciart in East London today with this installation about #chemistry and #wellbeing

Looks like “has been on TV, therefore should advise government on science policy” just went nuclear. Alternate version: Epistemic Trespass has a new World Champion.

Can we not do this engagement farming here. Please.

Strongly endorse this but also believe central London should be “one in one out” for museums so which one should go?

Want to treat your kids to the full Sea Monkeys experience but don’t have money to burn? Just leave a glass of water out for a week, peer at intently, then declare “they probably can’t grow in London water” and pour it down the sink.
