Christmas woooooo! 🎄

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

@Thomas_S_North No I like it Dad! I'm in my rebellious phase

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

Ho ho ho! My friend and colleague Emma made me a festive crocheted hat for the group Christmas meal! Merry Christmas one and all 🎄🎅🎁

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

@Thomas_S_North Hmm, I already have a cousin called TESS. How about: Yvonne, George, Kepler, Jørgen, Plato?

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

Guess who's home safe and sound?

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

@Thomas_S_North @nksaunders and @brittaclems !

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

I had a wonderful and productive week at the IfA! Enjoyed BBQs, the sunset, and catching up with a distant cousin!

Due to some delay and rebooking shenanigans, I'm stuck in a suitcase in the belly of a plane while @asteronomer flies back to the UK alone. Finally, some peace and quiet.

Normally when back at @unibirmingham I’d stop in and visit @asteronomer & @bison_in_space - unfortunately they’re off away at the moment, so I snapped a #GOsnapshot of Billy the Tauros on Campus instead! #BiSON

@caitieseren @KristinaHall_ made me a little headband! It makes me feel fancy ✨

I'm tagging along to Hawai'i for #TDAWG0! Started my visit off with a hike to a waterfall before I start work tomorrow!

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

@Thomas_S_North I am! This was me living it up last night

.@bison_in_space is eager to learn about stellar rotation from @StellarTayar #TASC5

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

I recognise the name of this lab! #tasc5 #bisonontour

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

I got a tour of some of the @TESSatMIT labs where they built and tested the CCDs! #tasc5 #bisonontour

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

Warm and cozy in the care of @warrickball #tasc5

[Billy the Astro Bison @bison_in_space]

Glad somebody is finally mentioning BiSON! #tasc5
