#DinoCon ticket is booked! I am disproportionately excited 😊

Get cats they said... they'll catch all the mice...

Happy 100th Birthday Sir David Attenborough! Thank you for showing us the beauty and magnificence of the natural world, in all of its forms, and for highlighting the need to protect it. May your day be filled with the joy and love you deserve.

Thank you @tetzoo.bsky.social and Steve White for a fantastic lecture this evening at the OUMNH @morethanadodo.bsky.social I look forward to seeing you again at DinoCon!

The Dinosaurs (Netflix) has just called the tail spikes on the stegosaurus a 'thagomiser'.... noooo.... why....!

Wishing everyone a very happy International Women's Day! I consider myself incredibly lucky to know so many incredible women who continue to inspire and bring joy to so many - through your tenacity, kindness, hard work and energy. May you all find warmth and happiness #Internationalwomen'sday

Beautiful signs of spring! #spring #ladybird #snowdrops

Before and after copious pets of the belly 🥰 Bramble has had a hard night bringing in live mice for me to catch...

Finally fully deactivated my (very idol) X account. Totally worth it!

XKCD at its best!

On the first Saturday of each month, at around 08:30, I have stood on the same spot (ish) of Shotover Country Park to create a timelapse of sorts. It was fun! How can I improve for 2026? 🤔

The sun is shining, I feel better post covid... so decided to go for a short run, expecting a King Theoden scenario (Perhaps your fingers would remember their old strength if they held your sword). Turns out, lung capacity not quite there yet, but improving!

Day 142 (or so it feels) of Covid. Back to colouring in dinosaurs to look like kingfishers. I am so lucky to have friends who are kind enough to find such awesome gifts 🥰

Could I please ask for opinions? I have finished this cool dino painting by numbers set I was kindly gifted a few months ago... Now it's done, should I bring out the T. rex by outlining it in pencil or paint, or leave it as is?

Covid can absolutely get in the bin! Do not be fooled by the cute fluffy cloud names! It sucks just as much as last time. Do look after yourselves - it might be worth considering face masks again - this thing is tearing through Oxfordshire.

A good day for dinosaur geekery! Amazing time at the Lightroom (a very generous birthday gift from August) followed by an obligatory visit to the Natural History Museum. David Attenborough's 'Our Story' experience was beautiful and left me in tears with its poignance.

Happy World Car Free Day! Here are some beautiful photos from my cycle to and from work today #Worldcarfreeday #cycletowork

200 mile charity bike ride complete! The Nuvia team cycled from our Milton Park office in Oxfordshire to our office in Manchester, raising over £3000 for Macmillan. As you can see, I had an amazing companion!

Beautiful rainbow in Amsterdam! Unfortunately, the photo doesn't do the vivid colours justice. What a lovely and friendly city, with an amazing history and vibrant culture.

*le sigh* Inspired by the art workshop for beginners at @dinoconuk.bsky.social and the enthusiasm of @jamespascoe.bsky.social, an attempt has been made to draw something that looks nearly, but not quite entirely, unlike a dinosaur. 😐 Practice makes progress.. Hopefully!

#DinoConUK 2025 is over, and what an amazing success, we the organising team are very proud :) Thanks to everyone who attended and took part - here's to an even bigger and better 2026!

MASSIVE thank you to the amazing organisers, speakers, artists, stall holders and fellow attendees at @dinoconuk.bsky.social! It has been an amazing two days - my brain is at capacity! I have come away having learned lots, inspired to learn more, and generally in awe of the artworks. #dinoconUK

Finally, I got round to buying my tickets for DonoCon @dinoconuk.bsky.social !!! I am really looking forward to it as a well-timed birthday gift to myself 😊

Walking along Shotover Country Park and saw a molehill being formed!

Graduation adventures at the @uniofreading.bsky.social @unirdg-phd.bsky.social . I have loved every moment of this PhD journey, meeting incredible people and learning a huge amount along the way. I am a bit sad now that this chapter has concluded, but am excited to see what the next one brings!

Cornwall adventures - a beautiful part of the world. Although the sea definitely scares me a bit!

Happy #NationalDinosaurDay ! I've been fascinated by and in awe of these beautiful creatures for most of my life. Here are some pictures of the beautiful Megalosaurus - the dinosaur that started it all for me, aged 7, having just watched the first episode of 'Dinosaur!' hosted by Walter Cronkite!

Bramble would like to show off her freshly brushed belly - it is hard work being a cat.

Following an unfortunate accident where a neighbour's oil tank leaked under our house, final remediation is underway underway! You can see the Regenox bubbling as it oxidises the oil. Science is amazing!

River and Bramble enjoying the beautiful sunshine!

Shotover Country Park... A hidden spring gem in Oxford!

Good evening Blue-sky community! I've heard this is where all the cool people who have escaped Twitter hang out. So far, the ratio of wholesome posts and animal pictures to nonsense looks great!
