Celebrating Ruadh Duggan win silver medal at @big-stem-network.bsky.social #BigEvent2025 #BestDemo

What’s this about then? @big-stem-network.bsky.social #BigEvent2025

We’ve reached over 4000 young people in @britsciassoc.bsky.social #ScienceWeek so, so proud of my amazing team who’ve travelled all over and worked so hard ❤️

Super excited to get an alert that my research on science shows was cited in this new publication from Shanii Phillips and Ann Grand. Can't wait to read it... journals.uclpress.co.uk/r4a/article/... ..and here's the link to my article if you want a look journals.uclpress.co.uk/r4a/article/...

And 2) Why do golf balls have dimples? which was a quick reads book to encourage people who don’t usually read books to read! @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social check out my other books here www.amazon.co.uk/Wendy-Sadler...

Happy #WorldBookDay here’s two different book projects I’ve worked on.1) A flash of light was a book sprint where a group of science communicators wrote a book together in a weekend! I wrote a chapter of it! @rsc.org @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

So proud we can finally offer our award-winning science shows in Welsh - if you know teachers or schools who might be interested please send them here sciencemadesimple.co.uk/contact-us/

If you're a teacher who could contribute to this consultation please consider it or share with colleagues.... @welshgovernment.bsky.social

Happy Valentines - don't like the whole manufactured nonsense obviously - but DO love my new @tattydevine.bsky.social necklace - can't decide it it's Rolling Stones or Rocky Horror show but I'm probably more Rocky that Mick!

Enjoying the creativity of the @ukri.org Compound semiconductor scientists in our @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social video creation day! #Impact

Also fascinating insights from @elunedparrott.bsky.social helping the @ukri.org @csacatapult.bsky.social cdt semiconductor hub students understand who to talk to in policy @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social engagement training

So great we have @proftomcrick.com (CSA for Dept culture media and sport) come and talk about how semiconductor scientists can engage with policymakers! Great questions from students. Fascinating insights. @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

Aha - this might explain why I always argue with my colleagues over what is the 'right' purple for our logo! @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

A packed room to hear about @horizoneu.bsky.social funding today in Cardiff. We’re hoping to bring back #Adiff. Also known as Researchers Night Wales. Get in touch if you’re interesting in linking up with us!! @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

Cheering on my physics and scicomm student Henrik in University Challenge @cardiffunilib.bsky.social

Ooh this is exciting!

Oh I love Led By Donkeys....

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

So excited about this project showcasing @ukri.org STFC role models from Wales to primary students in Wales. If you know a primary school or teacher in Wales who might be interested please pass it on! @nustem.bsky.social sciencemadesimple.co.uk/item/stem-pe...

In my desire to connect the usefulness of STEM to everyday life I investigated which mug I should choose for my afternoon cuppa. Rapidly fell into a rabbit hole about male and female gulp volumes. But the short answer is 5mm difference gives about 3 gulps less tea! @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

Loved learning that Boxing Day is a bit of a Christmas present to science journalists who get space for their passion projects to be published! @llantwit.bsky.social @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social #MediaEngagement

What an awesome week to be training @ukri.org ART AI researchers in how to engage with the media and policymakers! I bet they've had a few media enquiries this week...will be telling them about Bluesky.... @sciencemadesimple.bsky.social

“I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.” Why Ann Telnaes quit her editorial cartoonist job at the Washington Post and why she’s my newest hero anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

Ooh this looks exciting!!

So proud of the research done by my student Artemis Peck last year - published in Physics World (yay!) - why we need more Queer role models in Physics physicsworld.com/a/why-we-nee...

Morning Bluesky! Loving this simple definition of an Avalanche Photodiode from one of our semiconductor researchers last week #ScienceMadeSimple
