“Hand on my stupid heart”

Marina Tabassum’s summer pavilion at the Serpentine with its references to Bangladeshi wedding pavilions and a welcome pause to drink coffee and chat about space and congregation with my partner. #Saturday

Work that pulls you in and yet remains so utterly and defiantly outside of your cultural vocabulary. The remarkable Emily Kam Kngwarray exhibition at a Tate Modern late in London last night. #EmuDreamings

Terrific open day at Wilding Cider in Somerset yesterday. Thanks for the warm welcome and the chance to have a glorious picnic in the shade as well as see the amazing orchards. A wonderful time out from the world for a few hours. 🍎🍐🍾❤️

Superstar passed by the window on campus today … 🐻‍❄️ #Colossus

And so after an amazing final day at London’s Stratford Olympic Park site yesterday full of community, dance, procession and wonder @theherds.bsky.social move on … wish I was going with. 🐘🐺📦🚚

Magical moments in St James Park last night as part of the Caught in the Light performance by @theherds.bsky.social ..

Kudus in Camden - another remarkable feat by puppeteers in the @theherds.bsky.social company. And a sighting of a pangolin in the wild too. #TheHerds #PublicArt #ClimateEmergency 🌎

Has been the most amazing day following @theherds.bsky.social through London. Astonishing teamwork, creativity and camaraderie demonstrated by the puppeteers and a message about climate change and extinction that grew in potency through the day. 🦓🦍🦒

Amazing street art in Leicester last week #RichardIII

Well at least it kept me company waiting for a bit of Friday summer night train chaos to pass in Leicester … 🚂☀️💜

Couldn’t be prouder of a huge team of colleagues, students and partners who made this possible @royalholloway.bsky.social Couldn’t be more committed to the work to come. #UniversityOfSocialPurpose #WorldRefugeeDay

Open day is buzzing on our @royalholloway.bsky.social Egham campus today. Thanks to all the colleagues and student ambassadors doing such a great job engaging with visitors. Been to some brilliant talks and had some lovely chats around the edges too #RHTogether #ForWhatMatters 🐻‍❄️🧡

Congratulations to Sarah Jane Chimbwandira, Father John Dickson SDB, Nicholas Perryman and Kehinde Ojo, who were recognised as new Honorary Fellows at a ceremony held on campus yesterday. Read more: ow.ly/21fc50W8oHb #RoyalHolloway

Thanks to @hepi-news.bsky.social team for a really great conference. Serious focus on student journey - before, during & after. Special thanks to UUK’s Vivienne Stern for managing with some verve (& seriousness) to commence the day in the “Hundred Aker Wood” … #StillALittleBitTigger

UUK CEO Vivienne Stern says being a vice-chancellor today is like the opening of Winnie the Pooh - bumping your head repeatedly going down the stairs #HEPIAC25

The world will go on believe me but I am so glad to have this song in my life. Thank you for the music, Brian Wilson.

Lovely event tonight @royalholloway.bsky.social co-presenting the first ever Royal Holloway Students’ Union Student Impact awards as the prelude to our student summer ball. Am definitely leaving them all to the ferris wheel and silent disco now though. 💃🏽🎉

We're playing our part in tackling climate change and talking about our planet 👊 We're a partner of the upcoming Thrive Festival by Talking Tree, hosting community events which champion our research and creativity on topics of biodiversity. More: ow.ly/2J3L50VWYSj

Beautiful time of year in our university woodlands #Foxgloves #LivingCampus @royalholloway.bsky.social

Fun to watch a beautiful egret having huge success on the Thames today catching small silver fish for their brunch 🐟🐟🐟

❤️

“it is a sharp time” Engrossing and necessarily unsettling production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at The Globe this evening. Occupying that amazing space, defeating the insistent helicopters, and resonating in oh so many ways. ⭕️

Such a wonderful radio series presented by @MatthewBannister & such a wonderful showcase of awesome research by @royalholloway.bsky.social & @newcastleuni.bsky.social colleagues … #SongDetectorists 🎶 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Birthday weekender at Tate Modern in the sunshine was a very nice thing … the Turbine Hall has been a magic space over those years and I am so grateful for their underpinning premise of Art For All #Tate25 🎨

It's #SurreyDay, and we're so proud to be part of such a thriving and historic county. Through local volunteering, driving collaboration in line with our Civic Agreement, or providing on-campus opportunities to be inspired, our community are committed to giving something back.

Ashamed to say am very late to getting round to reading work by Colum McCann but no less blown away by his writing & range as a result. A recent break with lots of train travel meant I devoured 3 of his novels. Each of them about balance & counter balance in their own remarkable way.

Wishing all our @royalholloway.bsky.social community celebrating today a joyous Eid-al-Fitr.

The Salt Cosmologies exhibition at Somerset House is well worth catching. The courtyard installation is both beautiful and heart-stopping in the story it tells.

Massive thanks to everyone who has contributed to all the work and discussions to bring us to today’s announcement - and to everyone already working hard to deliver on our action plan.

Congratulations to Professor John Saunders from our Department of Physics who has won the 2025 Fritz London Memorial Prize. This recognises his significant and outstanding contributions to Low Temperature Physics. Learn more about his research and success: ow.ly/fHhL50VlyvF

Dashing back to the train station after another packed set of board meeting discussions at Shakespeare’s Globe but never cease to get a thrill from this walk and these views.

The Noah Davis retrospective at the Barbican is a stunner of an exhibition. I left feeling there was so much more to learn from this talented painter.

Would have been amazing to still be in India today for the celebrations but have my own little memory of Holi with me thanks to a wonderful colleague. Happy Holi to all our friends, students and partners celebrating today.

Goodbye Mumbai.
