Oh yeah, photo context - the team at the stadium let me keep one of the rebranding panels, and it’s still up at Mams house! (I never got a programme from matchday though, so if anyone has one knocking about I would be forever grateful!) However if you want to see a vintage version from 2015... 🧵5/5

A young Kat stands next to a plaquard that has "Ospreys, Stadiwm Katie Phillips Stadium" on it. the plaquard is part of the branding attached to the wall of the Stadium. Kat has long brown hair and glasses, and is leaning on the wall with her arms crossed. She's wearing a leather jacket and smiling down at the camera.

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

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!

28. The PhD gave me a load of opportunities to travel, my favourite of which was getting to attend ICIAM in Tokyo 2023. It was a massive (thousands of people) conference from all over the world getting excited about maths. And I got to present my poster via robot! (Plus Japan was a dream location!)

A portrait academic poster with title 'drop impact: lubrication air layer and surface waves in rebound dynamics'. In front of the poster is a small robot with a screen that has a video of Kat standing next to the poster giving a small talk about the work presented on the poster.

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.

25. The SAMBa CDT main group photo on their websites and advertising has me at the front in the centre, with a hot water bottle toy penguin visible in my dungarees.

Screenshot of the samba cdt website with a group photo of many students and academics. In the middle kat is wearing blue dungarees and the head of a soft toy penguin is visible peeking out above. Over the image are the words "love maths? Want to do a PhD? Join samba!"

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 💜

photo taken from the side of a large wooden stage. Kat is stood on the stage talking to an unseen audience, wearing jeans and a dark cardigan with maths symbols on it. There is a large projector screen displaying newtons second law for a segment of a vibrating string.
