An unbelievable privilege and experience today visiting the world leading #ALmA telescope at 5000m in Chile! 🧪🔭 Plus we saw some local fauna!

Less than a week until this year's @mayodarkskies.bsky.social Festival! Here's a snippet from 2022 looking at lighting to preserve dark skies, and how nature is a gift for life!

This is our biggest result so far this year (IMHO)! 🔭🧪 The M87* #blackhole is clearly cocooned in a turbulent, magnetised plasma and we can now resolve it changing in real time (albeit slowly). Excitingly we plan to do the first 2 month "movie" campaign looking ever 3-4 days in spring 2026!

Just one week until the @mayodarkskies.bsky.social festival! I'm excited to give a public talk, but also to see @paraphrasestudio.bsky.social again. Rae achieves the impossible by making insane visualisations of talks in real time! 🔭🧪Here's the one she made during my #blackhole talk back in 2022:

How can we advance the evidence base for youth #SocialPrescribing? 🔎 We spoke to researchers & academics to answer this question – we’re delighted to share learning in our latest blog and accompanying illustration. Take a look 👇 sbbresearch.org/advancing-th...

This is either a really good idea - or will drive people up the wall! #businesscards

✨Call out to researchers! ✨ After making these little case studies up I am DYING to start illustrating comic books to summarise academic work! 🖌️🧫🔬🧬⚗️🥼 Please reach out if you’re interested!

On Tuesday at our monthly Centre Seminar, Prof Kate Woodcock from @unibirmingham.bsky.social presented on a great new immersive programme to support mental health in classrooms. Thanks to those who joined online and in person. See you next month!

Good morning Bluesky! I lead the microbiological risk assessment team at the UK's Food Standards Agency, a non-ministerial department (yes, despite the name) with responsibility for making sure food is safe in England, Wales and NI (Scotland is Food Standards Scotland, who we work closely with).

Welcome to “The Perfect Specimen” a new podcast from NHM London with science writer @joshlukedavis.com and scientist @nhcooper123.bsky.social. Each episode Josh and Natalie pick two objects each to represent an adjective given to them by their producers and attempt to amaze and surprise each other.

A sneak peak at my latest project, an illustration celebrating the science that helps us explore the last movements of the #Wexford #Whale - otherwise known as Hope. Currently mounted in Hintze Hall at @nhm-london.bsky.social 🐳

The original sketch I made after a chat with Richard Sabin, Principal Curator at @nhm-london.bsky.social - about Hope the whale in Hinze Hall. Talking about all the research that goes on alongside the specimen

Capture patient engagement sessions with a live illustration, then pull out key themes to add to your report!

How about illustrating findings from your papers?

A work in progress, in a truly incredible place. Surrounded by the skulls of giant ocean dwellers - and the many people working on protecting and conserving them.
