Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 13/11/2025I was under inspired for this weeks jazzy Thursday so just did some sparkly green base and citrus stickers 🍋🟩🍋🍊 040
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Post me from a different era. Aged 23 in 2002 putting the finishing touches to the neutron time-of-flight arrays for my PhD project. So wholesome. 270
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Back to teaching this week so back to jazzy Thursday! This weeks effort was firework themed, black base and nail varnish pens for the detail. 🎆🎇 020
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 01/11/2025RIP my Eurofusion mug. It’s my fav mug for my morning cuppa and a hairline crack means it’s no longer viable 😭 130
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Since next week is consolidation week (so no lectures) I needed to do my spooky Jazzy Thursday nails this week! The base is a charity nail varnish called “the blackest sabbath” where the proceeds go to Cure Parkinson’s. The stickers on top are spooky! Overall a Halloweeny treat. 🦇🕷️🕸️🧛♀️ 120
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 16/10/2025This weeks Jazzy Thursday was an experiment! I did a dusky pink base and then used purple and pink nail varnish pens to get a leopard print effect 🐆🥰 040
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 09/10/2025This weeks Jazzy Thursday was a simple but very shiny affair. Just a couple of coats of the prism polish “help me, I’m feeling”. Liquid silver gorgeousness. Lots of the students playing along which is very wholesome 🥰 020
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 05/10/2025A Virgin Mary the Yorkshire way (with Hendo’s) 🥰 020

Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 25/09/2025First jazzy Thursday of the season. I did magnetic nail polish from Prism (called “follow the screams”). A bit sparkly, a bit physics-y 🥰 🧲 💅 090

Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 09/08/2025The curtain track for some reason broke and fell down. I swear there is no job more fiddley and annoying that putting up curtain track (with the exception of wiring in pendant lights). Be prepared for the air to be even more blue around me for the next hour 🤯🤬 130
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Not seen this Choo Choo before! The White Rose! 150

Highlights include: Anohni and the Johnsons, Alanis Morrissette, Doechii, Pulp, Jade, Self esteem, Beth Gibbons, P P Arnold, Ca7riel and Paco Amoroso 040
Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 13/06/2025In an office sort out at the YPI a draft version of “The Physics of Laser Plasma Intereactions” by W. L. Kruer was found! What a total find!

Kate Lancaster @profkatel.bsky.social · 12/06/2025I was at this event as part of the final panel on communication of research at a wider level (outreach etc) with @emmayhnell.bsky.social and Clau Nader and expertly chaired by Andrew Barker 😀 072
