Otis insisted on a New Year’s Day walk on the beach 🏖️ 🐶 #DogsOfBluesky

We made it. Grateful for every bright spot and light moment. Here’s to a kinder, lighter 2026 ✨ “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” 🧙‍♂️ (Gandalf)

Yep, knew he wouldn’t last, the snores are cute though 🐶 💤 #DogsOfBlueSky

Not sure if someone is going to make it to midnight 😂🐶 #DogsOfBlueSky

Otis enjoying his last trip to the pub of 2025 #DogsOfBlueSky

A fairly decent couple of cards today 🐰🔥 #Pokemon #PokemonTCGP #Charizard #Lopunny

If you're a multi-messenger astrophysicist 🔭🧪 with a particular interest in gravitational waves and neutrinos, please consider applying to our open faculty position within @grappainstitute.bsky.social at the University of Amsterdam. It's a great place to work, and AMS is a great place to live!!

4 games that defined my 2025 In the last year I: 🎴Opened just one more pack (Pokémon TCG Pocket) 🌾 Tended the farm (Stardew Valley) ⚔️ Lurked in the shadows (Assassin’s Creed Shadows) 🐾 Explored Galar (Pokémon Sword)

One of the best things about Christmas leftovers is the Boxing Day hash 🎄 😋

The stages of opening a Christmas present, Otis style 🎁 🐶 🎄 #DogsOfBlueSky #Christmas

Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful day full of peace and warmth 🎄✨

Prepping done, time to sit down with a Danish and a coffee ☕️

A fiery nice couple or cards this morning 🔥 #Pokemon #PokemonTCGP #Charizard #MegaCharizard

The last few months have not been the easiest, and Christmas is looking different once again. Still, I am grateful for the care, patience, and support of others ❤️

It was time for the Pasta Grannies cookbook to come out again 😋

R.I.P. Yannick Mellier (1958-2025) Last night I received a message via the Euclid Consortium conveying the very sad news of the death, at the age of 67, of the French astrophysicist and cosmologist Yannick Mellier (pictured left). Among many other things, Yannick was the Euclid Consortium Lead in…

And then came the night 🦌 🌒 I really love this style ❤️ #PokemonTGCP #Pokemon #Xerneas #WonderPick

Sunrise before my coffee this morning ☀️ ☕️ #PokemonTCGP #Pokemon #SolgaleoEx

Finally put the star light shade up, pretty pleased with it ⭐️💡

With the sun low in the sky, Otis cast some long shadows on our afternoon walk… not sure the swan was a big doggo fan though 🦢 🐶 #dogsofbluesky #winterwalk

Finally got an acorn that took to the water… but it’s time for a proper pot now 🌱

We did it! 😃 What started as a conversation over coffee at a conference has resulted in the new AGN UK community and today was our first workshop! Thank you to everyone that attended, gave talks, tutorials and contributed to the discussions! Here’s to the next one! #astro #AGN #blackholes

I'm very excited and honoured to announce my new position 🧪🔭 in the UK, starting in January! See here for more info: www.ast.cam.ac.uk/news/profess...

Time for a new Otis post, he clearly hasn’t forgotten how to strike a pose 😄🐶 #DogsOfBluesky

Well this has probably been an annual watch for the last 20 years… there are plenty of others I could post too though 😂

Following the award of the prestigious FIFA Peace Prize, I’m eagerly awaiting the inaugural FIFA Prize in Physics 🙃🤡

Not too shabby today 😍 #Pokemon #PokemonTCGP

This is pretty depressing...

It’s as if it knew I was back from conference and Otis would assume this position 🐶 #Pokemon #PokemonTCGP

Thank you to everyone that contributed to such a great conference on “the multi scale environments of AGN” I look forward to my next trip to Ringberg! #astro #AGN #blackholes

A wonderful snowy afternoon in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps ❄️ 🏔️ And of course there was some discussion of black holes too 😀 #snowy #astro #blackholes

Looking forward to a week of AGN at Schloss Ringberg, not a bad view to wake up too ❄️🗻 #astro #BlackHoles #Snowy

My brain has apparently chosen “full-on overthinking Friday” as today’s theme 😔

Otis was dismayed to learn that his favourite cafe isn’t always open 🐶 #DogsOfBlueSky

Otis will tell you it’s tiring being a beagle❤️ 🐶 #DogsOfBlueSky

Well look who decided to show up in the new expansion today 💡🐑❤️ #Pokemon #TCG #Ampharos

Our latest MandelZoom paper, led by Eun-jin Shin (Postdoc @cambridgeastro.bsky.social) is out on arXiv today! This work explores the impact of different stellar feedback mechanisms on black hole growth in dwarf galaxies! #astro #astrocoding

It’s been a pleasure to work with Nick Maragkakis (PhD student @icrar.bsky.social) and collaborators on his recently submitted paper, just out on arXiv today: “On the consistency of jet feedback modelling across different astrophysics hydrodynamical codes” #astro #astrocoding

Was great fun to help organise and co-chair this special discussion meeting at the @royalastrosoc.bsky.social Thank you to all of the speakers and attendees that made it such a great day! #astro #AGNOutflows

Oh! Well isn’t this adorable ☺️ #pokemon #TCG #Shuckle

Remember getting Pokémon Red as a kid when it came out and the “MissingNo. Glitch” 😅. Suddenly feeling very old 👴 #pokemon #gaming #gameboy

Well brunch from Love at First Bite certainly provides ample reason for further #Berlin visits 😋

On my way to see Arsenal vs London City Lionesses in the WSL today #ArsenalWomen #COYG

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."
