@ravenscimaven SAME! (4 months). I needed to hear this today! This makes me feel soooo much better, thank you! Personal SciComm quest not quite as successful as yours though.... yet 🤞🤣

Finally learnt to do one of these bad boys! Only took 4 hours the first attempt 🤣 I can now do the first 2 rows in a few minutes but keep forgetting the algorithm for the top 🙄 but I'll get there! #RubiksCube #LifeSkills #Puzzle

SpaceX has scrubbed todays launch at T- 40s because of a problem with the pressurization system in the booster. A minimum of 48hrs are needed to source more propellant and they will try again.

[Dr Aimee Paskins @Dr_Paskins]

Best of luck to the SpaceX team! This thing is a BEAST!!

[Steel City Science @Steel_City_Sci]

T- 15 minutes until the launch of the biggest rocket ever off on its first test flight. This thing is bigger than the Saturn V and is reusable!! Cannot deny the engineers at SpaceX have absolutely changed the game. Good luck! #space #starship #maidenvoyage #ScienceInAction

Sadly a no go for Ariane 5 and thr Juice mission today due to lightning storms....fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow! #ESAJuice #Ariane5 #Space #Jupiter #LaunchUpdates

[Steel City Science @Steel_City_Sci]

Did you know we are off to Jupiter?!?

Though sadly not today due to bad weather🤣🌩...hopefully tomorrow...but that is just the beginning of a long - over a decade! - treacherous trip out through the asteroid belt to our beautiful gas giant!

Follow the mission here: @ESA_JUICE

Just joined @TheIWSG and added @Steel_City_Sci to their blog list! I look forward to getting involved and hopefully learning a lot from other experienced writers to guide me on my new career path! #sciencewriting #aspiringwriter #sciencejournalism #science #writing

[Dr Aimee Paskins @Dr_Paskins]

Man, I wish i'd made it into the #ESA #Astronaut program. But hey, at least I was qualified to apply and tried, eh! Probably always be one of the maddest things I have ever done....and I still have a valid fit to fly certificate if I go ultimate career change and become a pilot🤣

[Steel City Science @Steel_City_Sci]

Here they are! The lucky folks who get to fly #ArtemisII around the #moon!! Exciting times ahead!

Really useful resource for those teaching or performing #SciComm in #BSL! Loads of #science/#maths/#geography etc specific BSL signs! Because science is for everyone!

[Steel City Science @Steel_City_Sci]

Fantastic resource from the Scottish Sensory Centre at @EdinburghUni with #science/#maths/#geography specific #BSL signs for those educating #deaf children. More #SciComm events should offer interpretors. #Inclusivity #ScienceForEveryone #EducationResource https://t.co/izayi59Sy5

I am currently working my way through the Writing in the Sciences course from #StanfordUniversity on #Coursera but looking for other courses to complete after to help with my career change!

[Dr Aimee Paskins @Dr_Paskins]

Any recommended online or in person training courses for #sciencewriting or #Sciencejournalism for an aspiring science author? Or places to get paid entry level writing experience? #jobsearch #jobseeking #science #careerchange
