Happy Bi Visibility Day! This is a periodic reminder that there's a rainbow flag in my bio for a reason. I like the wine, not the label ☺️ Sending love to all who are queer in STEM, today and everyday 💛🏳️‍🌈

Just a heads up that if you brought an iced latte to a job interview with me, the only thing I would think was: "where did they get an iced latte near here and would they recommend it?"

I hate that we even need it, but why isn't there a button to report someone who's made sexualised AI images of you? Does anyone know how I can get this taken down? It's on Tiktok ☹️

It was a pleasure to chat with @standupmaths.bsky.social in his recent YouTube video about whether Kinetic Energy is actually ½/mv² to talk about how we calculate the kinetic energy of the highly relativist beams at @cern.bsky.social Full video: youtu.be/k3sIHbj-TUI

It was wonderful to talk with Ella Al-Shamahi and Eleonora Svanberg about science communication on social media for the BBC World Service.

Screenshot of the website for The Conversation podcast on the BBC World Service page. It includes photos of Eleonora and myself, and a text description about the episode. The text reads: Women bringing science to social media. Ella Al-Shamahi talks to Eleonora Svanberg from Sweden and the Dr Clara Nellist at CERN who are both using social media platforms to encourage greater equality in STEM subjects.

I am, once again, asking conference organisers to have one social media account on each platform for your conference that gets passed on to the next local organisers for each iteration. This is how you build up a larger audience.
