If you wonder what I look like as a tiny head in a call with a bunch of Incredible people, or how to combine cryptography and Santa, this is the video for you! (Can you tell I've just got my login back for bluesky by chance?)

If you like too much detail on maths facts, or always wondered what I look like off camera, come along to this event at the end of the month! I'm so excited to contribute to AEOUD and be alongside some truly incredible other acts!

A large part ofmy love of rugby is due to the weekly rhythm in our house. Saturdays meant doing the weekly shop, wolfing down a swansea pie, and then heading off to sit in the cold for two hours beside my Mam and Dad, and later Mam and Bampi, as we cheered on @ospreysofficial.bsky.social. 🧵1/5
A selfie of Kat sat infront of a plaquard that has the ospreys logo and the text "Ospreys, Stadiwm Katie Phillips Stadium" written on it. Kat is smiling at the camera with her head resting slightly in her open palm. She has split orange and purple medium length hair which is pinned back, and is wearing a plain black tshirt and has round golden glasses.

Hallo! I'm not very good at using this platform, but I am quite good at sometimes remembering to tell people where they can find me. I'll be live over on twitch doing some co-working study streams this week, and I'll be doing some maths and fundraising May 21st (more to follow). Come say hi!

Last time I played a game with Sam I helped try to unionise a bunch of bakery goblins. He is a fantastic GM and I can't recommend this highly enough!!

Very excited to share these new pins! I couldn't find my favourite version of the transbian flag as a pin already, so I decided to make them myself. Please share these around so that other people can find and enjoy them too! canopyrobin.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...
Two rectangular hard enamel pins. Each has the trans pride chevron from the progress pride flag on the left side. The rest of the design is either the gay man pride stripes (outlined in silver metal) or the lesbian pride stripes (outlined in rose gold metal)

Do grey squirrels have red faces/backs for the same reason that some non-ginger people get ginger beards?

Do they release a cut of The Traitors where they don't include the confessionals, so you can play along? Because that would be so much fun

Forget Christmas, the best part of December is watching two grown men lose their minds watching silly cat videos for charity. #jinglejam

The book I'm reading got to a sad moment, so I decided to catch up on my Buffy rewatch. Only I forgot that my next episode is The Body... Looks like we're having a crying night no matter what

I've had an amazingly full circle moment today where I was invited to speak at the applied mathematics seminar in Cardiff University. I completed my undergraduate in Cardiff in 2019, so to go back just after completing my PhD and share my success with the people who inspired me was a lovely feeling.
The maths department building at Cardiff. The Cardiff university logo - a red square with "Cardiff University, Prifysgol Caerdydd" at the top of the building with the word "ABACWS", the name of the building, going vertically down the side. The view is leaning up from the base of the building with a blue sky behind it. The building is modern with slate grey mismatched panelling, copper window frames, and the ground floor has tall glass walls.

If we run out of lore you're getting bad maths jokes, but this looks fun! 1 like = 1 piece of Kat lore (Also go check out the really cool people in this chain!!)

For people who've had to chair talks, what's your favourite way to ensure your speakers don't run over? I'm enjoying watching someone use my favourite method - stand menacingly by the side of the stage when the time is up.

Adding to my list of first time SciComm experiences: Yesterday I did my first school visit to share my talk "Everyday Fluid Dynamics" with a group of passionate A level students. I had a lot of fun, and the students did too - if their many, many questions were anything to go by!

Shwmae! With the mass migration it seems the appropriate time to introduce myself, I'm Kat and I do maths! You can find me at my day job as an Innovation Research Associate, on twitch teaching maths and chatting about academia, or doing talks about cool things! I love puns, games, and lofi remixes 💜
