This week marked the conclusion of the @britsciassoc.bsky.social Community Led Research Pilot, led by Dr Sally Lloyd-Evans & @dralicempofucoles.bsky.social. We celebrated the achievements of six community groups who shared learnings through case studies, videos and final report. 🔗 rdg.ac/47QUUQo

Had such a fantastic time at the British Science Festival on Saturday. It was a joy to connect with so many brilliant researchers. Thank you to @britsciassoc.bsky.social for making me this year’s Award Lecturer for Science & the Arts - it’s been incredible! #BSF25 #histmed #disabilityhistory

Our year-long project on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (#EDI) strategies in the UK’s science and tech sectors has drawn to a close with a new report exploring data collection, analysis and insight. Read our findings and recommendations >> www.britishscienceassociation.org/News/report-...

Thank you @britsciassoc.bsky.social for inviting me to #BSF25! I loved inspiring the audience about rocks and the magical stories they can tell us 🩵🙏🏾

The British Science Festival, a partnership with @liverpooluni.bsky.social and @ljmuofficial.bsky.social is over for another year! Goodbye Liverpool 🥲👋🏻 #BSF25 Here's one final blog, with some day five highlights from Museum of Liverpool: www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/robo-ch...

Explored the British Science Festival 2025 of @britsciassoc.bsky.social with @liverpooluni.bsky.social and @ljmuofficial.bsky.social, loads of inspiring talks, engaging workshops and installations. What a wonderful #BSF25! @livuniresearch.bsky.social @livunihss.bsky.social

Dusted off the art skills (or lack thereof) for an anatomy drawing workshop as part of the British Science Festival hosted in Liverpool last week! #BSF25 @britsciassoc.bsky.social

Just finished reading this, written with engaging enthusiasm and admirable clarity by @alomshaha.bsky.social. I took 3 sciences and maths at A level, so was familiar with much of the content, but it made me realise how much I'd forgotten and how much more has been discovered in the 30 years since.

The brilliant @sosowemimo.bsky.social joined me & @livunihss.bsky.social colleague Stephen Kenny yesterday to talk racism, colonialism and health @britsciassoc.bsky.social

At this point in the British Science Festival, we're only able to figure out what day it is by our blog posts 😂 An incredible week. Check out yesterday's day 4 highlights incl @gilesyeo.bsky.social and Tilly Lockey 🦾 Join us on IG for more! #BSF25 www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/phages-...

Fab time giving a talk about obesity therapeutics in my role as president of the biological section of the 2025 British Science Festival in Liverpool! Followed by an excellent meal in Chinatown #obesityisnotachoice

Brilliant, informative & funny talk by @hanachronism.bsky.social on the Voyager probe at @britsciassoc.bsky.social festival. And fantastic accompanying online exhibition on SF & alien language curated by @jonathanthornton.bsky.social @livunihss.bsky.social digitalheritagelab.liverpool.ac.uk/voyager

Thank you to all that contributed to our Voyager exhibit today and created golden records at the British Science Festival! Some of my favourites are here, but I know I missed many so I'll be going through them once I've recovered a bit! @britsciassoc.bsky.social

There's room for us ALL in #science, folks - whether you're into heels or flats, brights or neutrals. This is why I love the community-focused approach at events like #bsf25. Yes, there's fab science going on in academia and industry, but it's also about how we as a culture "see" scientists too...

The scientists who attended our first annual gatherings 190+ years ago couldn't have anticipated this sort of thing in 2025... but we loved Meg Hodgson's show MOONFACE at Unity Theatre last night. Don't worry, there's still science talks a-plenty at the Festival! Something for everyone at #BSF25 🌝

We are still buzzing from our show! Here’s some snaps of what you missed… in case you were wondering…. Huge thank you to the whole production team and the people who made this happen! @microbiologysociety.org @britsciassoc.bsky.social @emmottlab.bsky.social @livuninews.bsky.social #BSF25

It's been another brilliant day at the British Science Festival in Liverpool, with talks, shows, and drop-ins at Kazimier Garden, LEAF, Bold Street and more. Our third #BSF25 blog captures just some of the highlights. Join us on IG for more! >> www.britishscienceassociation.org/blog/whale-s...
