FUNGUS IN SPACE!!! 🍄🚀

Equal parts cosmic horror and nature being metal, let's talk about the lichen that grew on the OUTSIDE of the International Space Station!

Get your tea and curl up, because I PROMISE you wanna hear about these fungal cosmonauts 🧑‍🚀

The salary for postdoctoral scientists is £36k. Science is global - if the UK is going to be 'the best country for science in the world', we need to be able to recruit the best scientists. Now, we might not be able to - only British scientists can apply.

Brilliant few days at @BirkbeckUoL for #ASB9 with @AstrobioSoc 🪐 If you’d told me 3 years ago I’d be speaking at an astrobiology conference I would’ve asked you to pinch me 😁

Happy 111th birthday to this little one

Hello twitter, I'm looking for work! Sectors I'm interested in are space/intelligence, climate science, project co-ordinating, & astrophysics research. I would appreciate any pointers, retweets, DMs of companies I should look at, or forwards to friends hiring in these areas!🌌

This just happened:

colleague: "I am uncomfortable with the only woman in the room delegated to note taking, I can take over that task"

Are my for loops efficient? No.
But do they work the first time I code them? Also no.
