Finally arrived at #IAC2022. Admit to getting turned around in the Expo, took me over 45 mins to find the actual exit, though through the exploration I did net two coffees, a WIA pin, Brazilian SA lanyard and several plans to meet up for more coffee.
Clearly Dubai held the IAC a few years too early...

I post this image a lot on Twitter in response to people talking about Scottish weather. It’s probably one of my favourite images. It is an annual rainfall map (higher the peak, higher the rainfall).
I’m so glad that Edinburgh is in the flat!
I had to pause my online talk and go on mute because the hail was so loud against the windows and skylight the others else couldn't hear. Could we go back to last weekend's weather?

Leveraging my daughter's artwork, who incidentally drew this unbeknown to me after surfing through tv shows. It is an open art space, if your kids or you (lured by crayons late at night, under the guise of your kids of course) want to join in.

Our #Hera mission will be humankind’s first visit to a binary #asteroid system. To be launched in 2023, the spacecraft will survey the 160-m diameter moon of the 780-m #Didymos asteroid. And with a new mission comes a new logo... See esa.int/Our_Activities/Space…

I have fondness for systemic classification. By nature it is simplified, but gives me hope of understanding the bigger picture. This is a neat one on control theory..
Working through a backlog of reading, at 2 am, trying to navigate the mire of information sharing (the new 'news') while my other half battles for the safety of the realm in Witcher 3. Interesting read on the last political PR campaign.
