Pinned
David Tennant is wearing his pride tradis pin on #TheOneShow right now.
RIP my website. Get your preorders in while you can. All profit goes to AKT charity who support LGBTQ+ people living with homelessness jamiebgall.co.uk/shop
Another £1k sent to AKT from pin badge sales.
[over £46k in total]
24% or young homeless people are LGBTQ+ and AKT offers dedicated and informed support. So valuable, especially in winter.

🥰Thanks for continued support 🥰

At home I use a large screen and very low resolution. But then I plug my laptop into uni projectors and it creates this very distressing image.

Yday I was thanked for creating a comfortable space in my workshop. I’m so pleased!
How do I do it?
1 thing that helps is that at the start I explain how things will work & give people active permission to use the space & time in their own way. Eg to move/leave/eat/contribute or not to.

No time to go home though, straight to run an all day session teaching public engagement for reseachers.
But first, irn bru and porridge.

Sleeper train selfie with a difference tonight. I have the room with a shower tonight.
It’s very odd and wrong feeling to shower on a wobbly train.

Currently listening to Bleak House read by Miriam Margolyes. My favourite part is her introduction where she basically says it’s really difficult to read and she hates the main character.

Guess which chaos demon stayed too long at his own event and missed his train. Managed to get the very last spot on the sleeper so will make it to Glasgow for my all day event tomorrow 😅😅😅

It’s 10.30 and I just woke up.
I’ve just had over 9 and a half hours sleep. 😮
I am blessed if I get 7. And 8 is only if I’m really unwell. So this is very confusing.

Not on a sleeper!
Came down to London early ahead of a day with the New Scientist Live team exploring effective Sci Comm

Out causing mischief in the highest village in Scotland, clambering up a scrap heap from an old mind.

Good morning from Scotland’s highest village. Spending the weekend in the clouds with my pals and this precious baby.

I thought Glasgow looked great this morning, but Edinburgh has really come out swinging.

Over at the Roslin Institute today talking about effective evaluation of engagement.

Scots, if you want to know how the trains are doing today- I just got the train to Edinburgh from
Central.

Currently the best way to keep up to date with the activity of parliamentary committees is to follow them on X/Twitter with alerts enabled.
This needs to change.
The KE unit abandoned X but there is a notable lack of representation on Bluesky (@lordsukspacecom.parliament.uk an exception)

Good morning.
Glasgow looking great this morning. So busy yet sleepy. Like me.

Nearly half a million folk watching me get pulled up for not being respectful at the university of Oxford over on insta is wild.

The DJI pocket 3 is 20% off today.
I adore this camera. The quality is great and I’m less self conscious recoding on it in public place. Heartily recommend if you want to get into TikTok & Reels for 2026.

(I’m patiently waiting on the pocket 4 being released)

All gone 🥰

I remember when I huge box of books arrived I was so incredibly embarrassed that I had so many books that I’d never sell. I envisaged drop feeding them into charity shops. Can’t believe they’re gone!

(I’ve asked the publishers if I can get more, but they have had issues with in UK)
Off to the post office to drop off some of my books. Think I only have 3 left in stock. So if you want cute science projects over the holidays be quick www.jamiebgall.co.uk/shop
