A quiet day today, but some lovely conversations ranging from a discussion of the latest hints of possible early life on Mars, to the challenges of nuclear power station safety training. Oh, and how did the Romulans in #StarTrekTNG use #BlackHoles to power their spaceships? #QuestionOfTheMonth

Some more nice chats today with the #QuestionOfTheMonth for Dr Harold leading to a fascinating discussion about the use of radioactive materials to treat thyroid cancers.

Looking forward to our annual summer-holiday special Chat, tomorrow with Dr Harold returning to meet and discuss, and perhaps eat some lovely Popsy's cake!

A beautiful bit of simulated gravity.

A table and three chairs in the corner of a cafe. One of the chairs is occupied by physicist Harold. Two blackboard signs behind the table read “Meet a Physicist! Please come and chat…” and “A bit of science with your cup of tea?”

Adjournment into Popsy’s cafe for some of the conversation today. Question of the Month: What shape is space? #QuestionOfTheMonth

Looking forward to chatting tomorrow. We have another special guest as well - the medical physicist Dr Harold Stockdale.

In the foreground, a brass Orrery with lots of cogs and model planets showing. The orrery sits on a cloth with constellations and stars marked. Behind the orrery are two people, the closer wearing glasses, and further one who is too out-of-focus to see clearly.

Excellent conversations on Friday with guest scientist Steve and his beautiful #Orrery.
#QuestionOfTheMonth - How did they know that the planets moved like the Orrery?
