I'll do my best NOT to shout out any answers 🗣️

And yes, I'm wearing headphones 🎧

When your barber realises you've "cheated" on him with another barber shop...

You may be the first person *ever* to set out to read a Jilly Cooper novel with the express purpose of educating yourself!

Yes a little bit over the hip. Thanks

Okay, prepare to judge: I had never heard of Dame Jilly Cooper until Rishi Sunak mentioned he was a fan in a 2023 interview.

With her passing at 88, and her iconic novel Rivals making a splash on Disney+ in 2024, it feels like the universe is screaming at me to catch up!

Book recommendations pls

Do opposites really attract? 🤔💘

Should you date someone from a totally different field… or stick to people who “get” your work? 🧠👩‍🏫👨‍💼

As an educator, I’ve noticed that when I’ve dated fellow teachers, our conversations can get a little too teacher-y 😂🍎✏️

When you want to get slightly tipsy but also want to stay awake. Espresso martini AND a coffee.

What is the name of this institute in London? Clue: it has the first name & surname of one of the discoverers of DNA

Fun work meeting here!

How important is good science communication? 👨🏻‍🔬📚

Royal Society Science Book Prize awards host Samira Ahmed chatting with shortlisted authors

Last year I was a judge but this year a guest 👨🏻‍⚖️

#RoyalSociety #Science #ScienceBooks #books

Do you read science content?

Last year, I was a judge for @royalsociety.org Science Book Prize 2024 (and even brought my #UniversityChallenge pal Eric Monkman to meet legendary author Bill Bryson at awards ceremony!)

This year, I'm a guest - so I'll be waiting in suspense for the result...

Magical evening for a careers event for students thinking about opportunities in the film industry.

Yes even maths can help students in this industry !

#EVEWHU #WestHam #Everton

Enjoyed my first #UniversityChallenge LIVE watch for a few weeks.

Now time for the stress of watching my beloved West Ham try to salvage a point against Everton away. Not feeling confident tbh.

If the (impressive) captain Stirling of Strathclyde University was captain of Stirling University, we could have heard:

"Stirling, Stirling" being shouted out a few times.

Popular music starter on #UniversityChallenge.

Embarrassed to say I didn't recognise Gladys Knight's voice. This means I'll be listening to her music for the next few days.

For a second, I thought the lead singer of Maroon 5 was captain of Strathclyde's #UniversityChallenge quiz team...

Three bonus questions on Euro 2024 on #UniversityChallenge.

Yes please!

Time for #UniversityChallenge.

I've not been able to watch LIVE past few weeks, so I'm glad to be back.

Massive welcome to UC debutants Harper Adams University.

🚫 1 in 7 primary schools in England have no library
🚫 In disadvantaged areas, it’s as high as 1 in 4
➡️ 750,000 children don’t have access to the books that inspire learning, boost well-being

📚✨ Did you know… it’s NOT a legal requirement for primary schools to have a library? 😲

Yes, I'm pleased Chancellor pledged to ensure every school has a library by 2029 📖✅ … but children shouldn’t have to wait that long. Making school libraries a statutory requirement is essential 🏫

✨ Perfect way to wrap up the weekend ✨

🥭🍌 Indulging in the classic south Indian Keralan treat – Pazham Pori (crispy banana fry) 🍌✨ paired with a refreshing 🥥🥤 coconut shake.

When is a date NOT a date? 🤯

A few years ago, I went on some great dates with someone 💫 After being away for a while, things fizzled out.

Fast forward: I reached out recently and suggested a coffee ☕. She agreed. Halfway through, she dropped this: “I’m seeing someone.” 😳

Hmm what went wrong?

Ever stood on a cliff and felt that mix of fear & strange pull?

At the edge of Seven Sisters cliffs in Sussex, I thought of 19th century Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. He described this moment as the “dizziness of freedom" - when we’re terrified of falling, yet aware we could choose to jump

✨ Dating Dilemma Alert! ✨
Imagine this: you’re on a date, everything’s going great 💕 … but suddenly you spot your friends or family across the room 👀.

Do you:
👉 Say hi and introduce them? 👋
👉 Or pretend you didn’t see them and keep the date vibes going? 😅
