🔭🎭👩‍🔬 I made a STEM Improv Network! 🔭🎭👩‍🔬
The goal: to form a community of people in STEM who do improv or would like to learn.
I'm planning online courses, game nights/jams and to chase the dream of one day performing STEM-improv live!
Link to join the newsletter is on my website: tinyurl.com/3kpxn7sn

🎉 My Doctoral Certificate is finally here!! 🎉

I’m so happy to have been awarded my doctorate in Mathematics, specialising in Quantum Dynamics.

I have celebrated the end of my PhD any times and I’m proud to be the first Holmes in my family tree, not just to have an undergrad degree, but a PhD!

I had a fabulous night at @pintofscience.uk!
Three great talks touching on particle physics, quantum computing and the value of the scientific method in the face of A.I. automation.

Here's a couple great slides from the last talk given by Dr. Ben Hanson.

💚Happy Agender Pride Day!💚

An agender person do not identify or feel no connection with any gender, they can be partially genderless, partially genderless (like me!) or dislike the concept of gender.

The Agender agenda for today is to know that you are valid and you are loved. Happy Pride! 🖤🤍💚🤍🖤

Protests are amazing places to make your voice heard and feel solidarity and love from the community and allys.
@heatherpaterson.co.uk have complied protests across the UK into one handy map, check it out!

1/8. This is a late celebration due to being out of action from illness but I have recovered now. So lets get into it!

Happy (belated) International Asexuality Day!💜

I am forever grateful to the Asexual (and Aromantic) activists out there fighting for our right to live safe and comfortable lives.

I'm found of the Taoist mind set and appreciate the DailyTao which cycles through the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching.

It pains me to see how relevant todays chapter is for the current state of governing...

I visited @portalbookshop.bsky.social and the Rainbow cafe for the first time in York.
An amazing welcoming hub with some inspired community events on offer.

I also had the pleasure of meeting @malin.Fox (insta) who creates hand embroidered monuments for Trans day of rememberence, link in next post

I visited a close friend at my old university, University of Nottingham, and I was delighted to see a poster in the Chemistry department for the oSTEM conference that I'll be presenting at!
I can't wait! 💜💚

Thesis writing update:
Often my figures show the time evolution of Fock (harmonic oscillator) states represented on position-momentum space. Well... to go along with the To-Do-Dog (and friends), we now have debut of the Fox state 🦊

Thesis writing for me has evolved to putting photos of dogs in the space where figures are yet to be produced.
Let me introduce you to: The to-do Dog!
Happy #LGBTQ+InSTEM day📃🐶💜
