I make nerdy rainbow pin badges that have raised £35k for homeless LGBTQ+ people

https://linktr.ee/Jamiebgall
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.

Back in Glasgow.
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.

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 😅😅😅

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.

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.

Leave. Quickly.

Great to be at the Cardiff University School of Medicine day for patient & public involvement & engagement.
I’m here talking about some of my favourite engagement projects: a story book to talk about parental addiction, tactile astronomical maps for visually impaired people & so many more.
November 18, 2025 at 1:34 PM
My job is mainly sitting on trains.
Today I’m off to Cardiff to speak about Creative Engagement with research.

(The sun struck just at the right moment to make the train selfie incredibly pretentious)

As well as being pin badge pals, me and David are kilt twinsies. (Silver mist)

A few people have had my designs turned into tattoos. Which is 🤯🤯🤯

A parent of a queer child got in touch to show me what she has done to show her support. 😍😍🥰
The Doctor would be so proud.
