Sepsis survivor with CKD & disabilities. Neurodiverse. Studying with the OU and taking all things space and tech to young people through schools, clubs, etc. and stupid enough to let them loose on £20k worth of Astro gear for fun! Crazy.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Thank you @carolynporco.bsky.social for the work you have done leading and contributing to the expansion of our knowledge of this solar system of ours. Your work has inspired me since I first encountered it with the images from the Voyager missions.

What a great idea! On it.
You can do this right now:
Think of a person who wrote a paper you love, whose work influenced or helped you, or has made your professional life better.
Search up their email address. Shoot them a quick email of thanks. It means so, so much. This is a rough time of year, share some joy.

A powerful video from Norway displays gender based inequality. The look of dismay & confusion on the girls' faces upon receiving less for the same task was a little painful.
They agreed it was unfair.

Here goes . . . I'm hoping for Scotland's 2026 World Cup group to be: 🏴
Mexico 🇲🇽
Iran 🇮🇷

New Zealand 🇳🇿
That way we get the opening match v Mexico, redress for the 1978 1:1 draw against Iran, and a chance of actually getting to the next stage.

Well given Trump's track record in the courts and the fact that the programme was neither broadcast anywhere in the US or available via streaming means this is just an attempt to force an out of court settlement in his favour.

Wonderful evening last night with @drrachelclarke.com and @robdelaney.bsky.social at the Kiln Theatre, Kilburn.
Insightful, and some excellent points about how important the work of play specialists are for children in hospital but what is there for adults? Food for thought.
