Well, it's home time.

Grateful to everyone who helped bring #BIGEvent25 to life as the best #scicomm event in the UK.

As with all events, I have improvements to make and I am excited to continue that journey for next year!

Last day of #BigEvent25 today 😢 It's been lovely hanging out with my friends and the Royal Institution is such a great place to reflect on being a STEM communicator.
Best bit? Seeing the amazing @steckl.es receive the Beetlestone Award - so good to see my fave mathematician be publicly recognised!

The standard for the Best Demo Competition this year was absolutely phenomenal!

And I've never seen as slick a production as that delivered delivered by the Royal Institution demo team

A joy to watch #BIGEvent25

This week, I'm at #BIGEvent25, sharing and learning all things STEM communication. Today is a long day so I'm sitting in the corner braiding for a bit - so nice to be at an event with a crafty corner. Really looking forward to watching some demos in the best demo competition later!

Can you guess what is being hummed ...

Yesterday was my first day of my first Big event!
Talks I attended were Maths in SciComm and Finding your Feet Freelance. Both excellent!
I'm ready for day 2!

I’ve got a full house this week!

It's not even day 1 of #BigEvent25 yet and I've already seen glowy demos in the pub!

So who's heading to #BIGEvent25 this week?

I can't believe it's been 8 years since my first one - haven't skipped a year yet! Grown a lot as a science communicator (and as a person) since my very first one.

Anyone travelling to London today?

Event Manager Sam and his Event Manager Plan are almost there, a whole 48 hours early

When do you get to the capital?
