Postdoc at Durham University working on quantum optics and THz imaging using room-temperature atoms ⚛️💡I like small animals more than is healthy. (she/her)

If you really have to have fireworks, and I hope you don't - I hope you make your own new, kinder tradition for 5th November, like creating your own family home made Christmas cake together, or your own candles, or ornaments, or inviting all your friends over and telling them to bring their favourite takeaways so you can swap...
But if you really have to have fireworks, please choose the low noise type, to limit the harm and suffering you will cause neighbour's pets and all the wildlife in your area.

On Sunday, I married my best friend ❤️ thank you to everyone who made the day so perfect. There were sheep, cows and rainbows; we couldn't have asked for anything more.
So much this! The idea that healthy habits (exercise, diet etc) will 'cure' mental illness is extremely damaging 😔 yes, there are some things they will improve, but I'm yet to meet anyone who managed to exercise themselves out of a mental health crisis 🤔
Please, listen to individuals with severe mental illness this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. The conversation should not just be about nature, wellbeing & exercise. It should be about reducing stigma of mental illnesses, understanding symptoms & how to support. Sadly it’s not.
Aurora: 10/10 would look at again 👍 had the great idea of driving out to the Pennines, along with half the population of County Durham. Maximum autistic joy 🤩
