Arrived in Geneva for the @iavcei.bsky.social Scientific Assembly. Already seen the Jet d'Eau and had two ice creams, I'm ready for the 🌋 science #IAVCEI2025

Had a great time visiting @eumetsat.int in Darmstadt for the first time (also my first proper visit to Germany!). There was a good density of satellite models around, and also fish in an inside pond? Why don't more buildings have inside ponds?!?

Before and after 🌋 Had a creative excursion from the usual work today painting a 3D printed volcano for future outreach fun! Bonus points if you can guess the volcano...

Saw some epic anvil clouds yesterday flying from Ireland to the UK! Even flew right past one, I was very lucky to be in a window seat! Made the 30mins of circling above Manchester airport much more enjoyable (as well as snow covered Peak and Lake Districts)
