@BBCPallab "K2-18b is ... seven hundred trillion miles away from us."

That's 120 light years in meaningful units. Who do you think it's going to understand trillions of miles?

Why no major TV drama of the Burr Conspiracy? Secret foreign agents! Enemies spreading terror!
Fleeing into the wilderness in disguise! Capture and attempted escape! Courtroom drama! Forged documents! Triumphant acquittal! Who should play Burr?

(And that is how I got the highest mark I've ever gotten for an End of Module Assessment)

Reasonable human beings: You cannot quote #HamiltonMusical in a final year university history essay. Especially in a course that doesn't even cover American postcolonial history.
Me: HOLD. MY. BEER.

Oh yes, and changed my name. I knew I'd forgotten something.

So... did I mention that since I last logged in I became a committee member for the Bristol Ramblers and wrote a blog post for Bristol Walk Fest? https://t.co/2ZYJtCSIDk

...I feel kinda called out. https://t.co/pfUPYy90Ld

@jolilford Depending what you mean by 'city centre', I can probably make that.

Gotta love the way that trying to report a wrong ‘Kindle Edition’ link to @amazon may have resulted in a terminally confused @AmazonKDP sending my details to the publisher. (And not answering my question of whether they did)

Important palaeobiological discovery: dinosaurs cannot do bicycle crunches, due to the bulky, inflexible tail. Will be publishing in Nature soonest.

[Ceiswyn (Sarah) Blake @ceiswyn]

Overheard in the work kitchen: "Oh my god, there's a dinosaur! Brilliant!" Since I was the woman making coffee while wearing a dinosaur onesie... #lifegoals :)

Can you find all the dinosaur-themed items in this photograph of a not-palaeobiologist?

[Ceiswyn (Sarah) Blake @ceiswyn]

Note to self: the correct term is 'duckling'. (Mutter mutter 'adorable little semi-aquatic avian dinosaur' don't see what the problem is)

I am #WadhamProud that my tutor's support helped me get a degree despite major menral health issues. I'm giving back by hiking for Mind this autumn. https://t.co/S0cad7QR8T

@DHLParcelUK appear to feel that delivering parcels to the right place isn't anything to do with them, which is an INTERESTING attitude to their core business...

[Ceiswyn (Sarah) Blake @ceiswyn]

@DHLParcelUK How exactly was my parcel 'refused' by an empty house?

[Ceiswyn (Sarah) Blake @ceiswyn]

I have strong legs, teensy weak arms, and a tendency to savage people in the face. Clearly, my spirit animal is the T. rex. What's your palaeo patronus?

The main effect that International Women's Day has had on my life is that I will never forget the date of International Men's Day. Unlike all the men who asked.
