Women In Tech Taskforce are seeking evidence on the interventions needed to help build a tech sector that works for everyone. (I'm late to this but important to spread the word) #womeninstem #womenintech www.gov.uk/government/c...

There is a new PhD opportunity in my group to study vortex dynamics in ultracold quantum mixtures. Get in touch if you want to play with lasers, build contraptions, and explore quantum systems on the macroscale. More info here: bit.ly/VortexDynami... Also: eqop.phys.strath.ac.uk/vsf-projects...

Our space potato (aka the vacuum chamber) is toasty! Currently baking gently.

An ultra-high-vacuum chamber sitting on an optical table in a physics lab. The chamber is attached to a turbo pump and has been completely covered in aluminium foil for insulation during the bakeout.

Fishnish is campaigning to be the lab mascot.

A black and white kitten looks towards the camera. She has a green ribbon that says ADVANCING PHYSICS.

I recently enjoyed a trip to the US Pacific Northwest. Lots of excellent physics conversations at DAMOP2025 in Portland, and a focused workshop on compressible turbulence at the UW's Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle. Of course I also took some time to walk in an old-growth forest!

Caught a few unexpected statues in Florence. I feel like these could spice up my next laser safety seminar.

The Watcher beside Basilica of San Lorenzo - sculpture of a naked man with head tilted to the sky and pillars extending from his eyes skywards.

Korf17 in piazza del Duomo - a pair of statues of naked men wearing goggles and looking upwards.

Happy International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM #LGBTQSTEMDay to all the brilliant folks in our community! And here in the UK, it’s the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 so join us in saying #NeverAgain to state sanction bullying and ignorance.

#HiSciSky I'm a queer physicist studying the collective behavior of quantum particles (aka schools of quantum 🐟) with dilute-gas superfluids. Currently building an ultracold atom experiment from scratch. Also interested in best-practice for improving EDI in physics. #LGBTQSTEM #Physics #WomenInSTEM
