And we found #tadpoles (little one was VERY excited!)

Lovely walk today at Bryngarw Park (and I remembered to look up!) #nature #wales

The Royal Crescent in Bath.

I can think of worse places to have a picnic lunch with the little one ☺️

Reminds me of something I was sent a while ago...

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because they had to replace their record collections with tape collection that they had to replace with a CD collection that they had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now they need a subscription to listen to music.

Never a truer word was spoken!

Nope. On episode 4, but it's certainly been the case for those 4 episodes, at least.

Have I found a flaw in the #TheTraitors ? 😱 The 3 shortlisted for murder are always last to arrive at breakfast the following day. Means last 2 to arrive at breakfast, by virtue of being shortlisted, can't be traitors! If you know this going in, then it just becomes a process of elimination!!

The venue for mine and my wife's first (lunch) date! I'm a cheapskate 😂

Thank you @ruthwinden.bsky.social, very kind of you ☺️

I was very lucky with my career transition (right place, right time) but I'm still proof it can be done! If there are any academics out there looking to make the move, don't let the fear hold you back! Explore your options thoroughly, and then go for it!

Narrator: It was.

Facebook reminding me of my last day in a lab (& a research career) 8 years ago today, before I jumped ship to researcher & research development. Most fulfilling 8 years of my life! I can honestly say I've never looked back & I don't regret the decision one bit! (1/2)

For any PhDs thinking of transitioning out of traditional academia where the beans that get counted are high-impact, numerous pubs... just know that you have so many other skills that are highly valuable in other spaces! 🧪

Well, that was a fun couple of hours that finally managed to help me switch my brain off! Anyone recognise this little guy? #legonotlego

Surreal experience walking around Sainsbury's when loads of emergency alerts go off at the same time. Then again a few minutes later. And again...

I guess they send them out in waves...?

Thanks Chris, looking forward to it. It's a great space and I really enjoyed working there when I was in RIS.

And thank you 😊

It's Welsh for Spark!

Will add those to the list...thank you! 😃

Well, it's official...new year, new home! And not just ordinary 'official', it's LANYARD official!!

(Not changing jobs btw, just buildings!)

I've joined the air fryer revolution! Any recipes you'd recommend? Pop them down below, if so...

We are releasing podcast episodes thick and fast.

This week's is with two fabulous leaders in #ResearchCulture:

Dr @emmaspary.bsky.social, Deputy Director of Research Culture @universityofleeds.bsky.social and Dr Karen Hinxman, Director of the White Rose University Consortium.

Enjoy!

(That's "winner, winner, chicken dinner", but I ran out of characters)

Love every syllable of this. I've ever understood the need to test 'spontaneity' in interviews as I'd never recruit on that basis anyway (in my context). It's not a gameshow! I'm more interested in the content of responses, & if that can be delivered in a calm, logical, considered manner then 🏆🏆🐓🍽!

True story 😃

Thank you ☺️

About 20 years ago, while doing my PhD, I took 4 photos 3-4 months apart...one for each season (back when we had seasons!). I was able to line them up and turn them into this short video. Not perfect, but still the thing I created that I like the most! The tree on the left tells the real story! 🍃🍂

You've reminded me that I need to watch it again!

Think I needed to hear this today 😟

Fantastic team away day today, helping us all reconnect professionally; followed by tapas & escape rooms to help us reconnect socially. And in a somewhat surprising manoeuvre (given that it's over a month late), a candle in my dessert & a rousing rendition of happy birthday to celebrate my big 5-0!!
