10 years ago to the day I went to my first conference, MMC. It’s since been my favourite conference! Today I went for lunch with the lovely @alicepyne.bsky.social whilst she was at MMC and got the chance to go in and see the exhibition with Nova who is 7weeks old today! What a treat 💖🥰

I’ve had my 1st teaching allocation this year and it’s been an experience. I’ve been eased in with 4 amazing MPhys students, who made the whole thing a lot easier for me. Last week I received this feedback. I know it won’t always be easy, but this definitely makes it feel worth it!

After a right blunder with resetting passwords I’ve become locked out of everything to do with work, emails, one drive, staffnet, blackboard all of it.
Surely this shouldn’t feel THIS painful?!

Abstract deadline for #physicsoflife2025 now extended to Sun 15th Dec

Last #physicsoflife meeting in 2023 was great success as unique conference at interface between physics & biology.

Abstracts don't need to have direct link to physics, but want dialogue between fields.
