All of this is vital work preparing for our exciting #DiamondII upgraded programme! Thanks to Jo, Davide, and the team - and to all our #Engineers, #Technicians and #ScienceCommunity - who are bringing these innovations to life

The vibration team has been doing a free-free modal analysis to figure out the behaviour of the girder when it is under constrained, where the 17.5 T, 8 m girder was hoisted up on the crane (and they have the crane ride to show for it!)

Some great photos from @Jothephysicist and vibration specialist of her work on vibrational modes for the #DiamondII dummy girder with senior engineer and vibration specialist @dacrivelli 🧵

Some gardeners are missing the point: It really doesnt matter how well plants in your garden grow or do not grow, no plants or garden justify the use of peat. Ever. We must therefore adapt- even if that means a loss of quality (which I firmly believe is not the case)

There's a myth that young people get anxious or depressed when people talk about the reality of the climate crisis.
My experience is the opposite.
The worst part is denial, looking away, downplaying or spreading false hope saying ”we'll fix this” without taking sufficient action.

My mother was a member of Windrush generation. Important to remember the courage it took to travel thousands of miles from your home to help rebuild this country after the war #WindrushDay2020

Wonderful news!! Jiri is one of the founding fathers of MEG, an amazing scientist, a defining influence on our field and one of the nicest people I've had the privilege to work with. Huge congratulations!!!
We are delighted to announce that Dr. Jiri Vrba will receive the @Biomag2020 James Zimmerman Prize, which is awarded on the basis of significant contributions to novel SQUID-based or new generation sensor developments and their applications in the field of biomagnetism.

Tomorrow I'm speaking to 300 (!) girls who will be STEM ambassadors for their schools. It is pretty last minute so I'm asking #WomenInSTEM and @MinoritySTEM who should I highlight for doing awesome science or science-related stuff? @jesswade can you amplify me? #outreach

And they're off... Dozens of cyclists are slowly peddling through Nottingham city centre.
It's one of about 5,000 climate change protests taking place around the world. #ClimateStrike

So we’ve (pretty much) finalized our Autumn 2019 astronomy seminar series at @UoN_Physics and through a concerted effort to balance our tenure, have managed 70% female speakers for next semester! 🦸🏻♀️👏🏼 Can’t wait to hear some fantastic science! 🔭👩💻

Cleaning up our oceans using Maths - live interview with BBC Radio Oxford. 80% of marine pollution comes from the land via rivers, and so by understanding where river water goes, we can focus our clean-up efforts on the most susceptible areas. #pollution #plasticpollution #ocean

@UoN_Physics are the best department. Cannot stress how nice it is to have staff that genuinely care. Graduated, but still welcome for a pep talk any time I get overwhelmed. ⭐️
