Signing copy of A CRACK IN EVERYTHING for very tall lady with very small head! #cheltscifest @headofzeus.bsky.social
I must be the only person who didnโt hear the #cheltscifest intro since I was waiting in the wings thinking โI hope I donโt forget what I want to sayโ!
Really enjoyed Thomas hertog at #cheltscifest. The variety show afterward was... less good! Gutted to have missed @marcuschown.bsky.social. why aren't the science festival on here?! why use an ai character to take a role that one of the charity's young volunteers could have done, and done better?!
Another great session at #CheltSciFest 2025 - this time on Quantum Dark Matter #AndrewPontzen #ChamkaurGhag, #HiranyaPeiris #JonathanOppenheim Nice to mix both Earth and Space based expt insights. Never truly appreciated the uniqueness of #Boulby vs just another deep mine ๐ค ๐๐๐ #astronomy #space

I've met, reunited, and chatted with a lot of wonderful people today at #CheltSciFest but there's one in particular I need to tell you about: look at this cute little one I met ๐ฅบ
Thanks. So pleased you enjoyed it! Great to get so many children come up with questions afterwards, especially as it was a talk my dad took me to by Paul Murdin, the co-discoverer of black holes, when I was 12 that got me interested! And I interviewed Murdin for a chapter of my book! #cheltscifest
Very much enjoyed the talk today at #cheltscifest 2025 (why are they not on @bsky.app ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ) by @marcuschown.bsky.social discussing Black Holes. Clear exposition to a lay audience ๐๐๐ #lessonslearnt #space #astronomy
Thanks. It made me very happy that you liked it!
If anyone would like to know what I was talking about, the paperback of A CRACK IN EVERYTHING has just been published... www.hive.co.uk/Product/Marc... @headofzeus.bsky.social #cheltscifest
Thank you. What a fab venue - Cheltenhamโs 122-year-old town hall! #cheltscifest
Really enjoyed the talk on the Bera Rubin Observatory at #cheltscifest. Thanks to you, Hiranya and Andrew. Enjoyed walking outside and getting soaked far less.
I'm on a train! Heading to #CheltSciFest for my talk and workshop tomorrow. If you want to join and make some leaf lanterns with me, there's still time to grab tickets! www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/art-i...

It was lovely to meet you, too! The crowd at #cheltSciFest always has the smartest most interesting people!
And, omg, of my entire evening, your comment was the one that left me truly speechless. I'm still dumbfounded! lol
@nathanlents.bsky.social Thanks for the incredible talk at #CheltSciFest. Truly enlightening and really positive. Hopefully we can get people in power to start recognising diversity. It was me that mentioned meeting the couple from Florida talking about your president ๐
