Incredibly good. Its longish, but I really recommend reading.

Hugely proud of @scientistsx.bsky.social on the launch of their new book #ScientistsOnSurvival Personal Stories of Climate Action. This is a deeply moving and inspiring book that everyone needs to read -every chapter left me in tears or with goosebumps. Read more: www.scientistsforxr.earth/our-book

I'm recruiting acts for a PAID science comedy show on the 1st July. Looking for active researchers who have done something like @scienceshowoff.bsky.social , Bright Club, The Know Show etc before. 10 minute sets.

Please🙏 A small gift for families like Yaseen's this Eid al-Fitr can be the price of a meal or simply sharing their humble request for food and medicine to survive 🙏

Been a bit quiet as the state of the world has been weighing on me. But on the plus side, I've just finished playing Citizen Sleeper 2 by @jumpovertheage.com et. al - a beautiful sci-fi exploration of mortality, solidarity, and what it means to be alive 🤖❤️🚀 Plus you get to roll dice! 🤩🎲
