I'm pleased I'm not watching the World Cup again this year. Can't think of anything I'd like to watch less at halftime than 25 mins of Coldplay...

Ok, 25 mins of U2 would be worse.

The book Inquisitor by Ian Watson.

Very sad to hear that sci-fi master Ian Watson has passed away. The bonkers worlds he brought to life in the Inquisition trilogy will always be how I imagine the 40k universe.

The potential for using video games to teach geoscience: learning about the geology and geomorphology of Hokkaido (Japan) from playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus Abstract. In recent years, video games, as a geoscience communication tool, have gained momentum. Popular commercial video games see millions of people around the world immersed in wondrous landscapes...

And geology too - gc.copernicus.org/articles/5/3...

The Pokémon universe goes hard on ecology and climate science The Pokémon franchise, including its recent game Pokémon Pokopia, is inspired by real animals and their ecology. It’s no surprise that so many scientists love to try and “catch ’em all”

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world.

This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

Very sad to hear that Hull legend, Paul Jackson, has died.

I had many great nights at the Adelphi. I hope someone will keep his legacy going.

New research kit day! My office is now full of cardboard boxes. I love my job!

I now have enough Lego Serious Play sets for a full class of students.

So whilst Willian was literally inside White Hart Lane, Chelsea were possibly offering illegal payments to his agent. And they just get away with this? Cool... Seems fair... #coys
