Hi, I'm Catriona. I study the immune system, show people the stars in a Planetarium, and do all sorts of #SciComm. Great list, @drvanessapirotta.bsky.social!

Female #reindeer sleigh hard at #Christmas. They may have red but not very shiny noses.
Like the nerd I am, I wanted to explore the #science of reindeer biology and #maths (logistics) of #Santa visiting millions of households in just over 35 hours.

It was a delight to chat with @kiraetsa.bsky.social about hay fever & thunderstorm asthma, and what makes you a mozzie magnet.

Lots of great science coming at-choo!

The fashion industry consumes so much water & generatesΒ 2-8%Β of CO2 emissions. Plus ~a garbage truck of clothes are dumped each second.

These clothes are saved from landfill, from a "community wardrobe", patched up, or worn in multiple ways.

What are your tips to be fashionable AND #sustainable?

@aitchp.bsky.social how awesome that you have a budding astronomer superstar! Also, astronomy lends itself to quite beautiful space outfits πŸ˜‰

Hello BlueSky world. This looks like a nice place.

I'm a singing scientist - I sing in the lab and contemplate science in the laboratory (often wearing science-y outfits, like this immune cell dress).

I share science via teaching, shows, articles, radios & more to make it accessible as possible.
