So proud for Innovate!, the game I developed with Digital Liberties, to finally be available for download on @nesta_uk's website... Check it out if you want to learn more about how to play and how we developed it! (feat. lovely videos by @designbysoapbox) https://t.co/ACbJ0WySmc

Thrilled to run the Hackney Half in May to raise 💷 for @GOSHCharity! Anyone who remotely knows me (and my running abilities), 'tis quite the challenge... But I am nothing if not determined and so in awe of @GreatOrmondSt. Donate here: https://t.co/58E1fIKIGs Huge thanks! 🫶

@Karminker Yikes.

👶Baby boom: Pronatalism vs pro-family👶

Policies that offer financial incentives to have more children are on the rise around the world, says @PatriciaJLucas and @FEngasser, but is this the kind of support families really need? https://t.co/ggQPTwLVv3

@stefanabroadben He is the teacher I best remember from my first year in university. Very sad indeed!

[Florence Engasser @FEngasser]

@Karminker Excellent choice. I am a sucker for anything featuring Dwayne Johnson (bonus points if it’s toddler friendly). And if you ever need a laugh, this article is maybe one of the funniest things I’ve ever read: https://t.co/Z3kqYOtdLE

@Karminker @katy_milkman Oooh, that’s good. Over here, we’ve had an epically, massively failed potty training experiment this weekend… We all need time to recover, I think 💩😅

[Florence Engasser @FEngasser]

@Karminker Way too thrilling! Might I suggest Balzac’s endless descriptions as a nap-inducing alternative?

[Florence Engasser @FEngasser]

@Karminker Excellent ‘light’ reading!

@Karminker Oh no! Aaaah toddler woes... Woke up this morning to find le Toddler in a great mood and very happy but covered (+ his entire crib and sheets) in dried vomit... Never thought I’d say that, but I think I would have preferred he barfed on me! 😅

@Tom_saunders I usually slice them in half, rub them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast them in the over until they are slightly caramelised. Goes great with a Puy lentil salad with spinach leaves, goat's cheese and hazelnuts...

[Florence Engasser @FEngasser]

@JMateosGarcia No Such Thing as a Fish is a great one too! Usually around 50-60mn long. Great fun and opportunity to learn about the most random facts! https://t.co/Tc0E03CB6w (and you can easily stop it halfway if you are on a 30mn run!)

[Florence Engasser @FEngasser]

@Tom_saunders Amazing work Tom! Super interesting to read through. Though I have the sad duty to let you know that robin redbreasts are a fiercely territorial and solitary bird species! Maybe not the best incarnation of your work 😅
