I believe that we have a moral obligation to communicate our science. We shouldn't have to choose between doing science & communicating it. Both should be held in equal value. Until this changes, science will remain exclusive and elist & that is such a huge shame for everyone!

This! Science outreach is not only important for the public, but also for us to remind ourselves why we chose to be scientists. You reconnect with the passion and enthusiasm that sometimes get diluted in the endless to-do lists we face daily.

It looks like New Orleans has popped up @cardiffuni . Does anyone know which TV show they might be filming for? Certainly very impressive.

Proud and excited to let you all know that the first book that I've contributed to for @dkbooks 'How the Brain Works' is now available to pre-order. Released on 10th March 2020 and available from all good book shops (always wanted to say that 😂)

How the Brain Works by DK: 9781465489791 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

Are men's and women's brains really different? Why are teenagers impulsive and rebellious? And will it soon be possible to link our brains together via the Cloud? Drawing on the latest neuroscience...

My partner who is a doctor has been showing all of the #COVID -19 symptoms. Why aren't our Healthcare Professionals getting tested?! He's been awaiting a phone call for 3 days now!! We need to sort this out and appropriately prioritise testing!

A young lad with a pink gift bag just knocked on our front door asking for *insert name of student in their class here* He knew that she lived on the street but didn't know which number! He's knocking every door! The whole street are now cheering him on to find his valentine!❤️
