I attempt to make people slightly more interested in science, occasionally successfully.

Before computers, there were "scanning girls".

These women played a vital role in particle physics by analysing bubble chamber photographs. Their work was essential, yet often overlooked. Read more about their contributions:

@Thievesbook The choice to switch to journalism is becoming clearer… 😂

@Thievesbook Unfortunately my day was spent trying to sort this out in the lab, but hopefully I’ll make next year’s!

As part of her placement year, our comms student Emma got to visit @CERN, and she thought she’d give you a tour - in the limited timespan @X allows. ⏲️

You can read more about her trip to CERN here 👇

To mark #InternationalFriendshipDay🫂, here's some #ParticlePhysics related ways to tell your besties just how much they mean to you!

Which one is your favourite? 🤔

It’s #Paris2024 🇫🇷! To celebrate we’ll be looking at 5 #Olympics themed particle physics stories.

First up we're looking at the iconic Eiffel Tower, which served as Theodor Wulf's laboratory in 1909 for his cosmic ray experiment.

The arts are symbiotic with creativity

Being creative within the scientific field is crucial to the progress that drives innovation forward

What does creativity mean to you? 🧑‍🎨

[Emma Hattersley @EmmaEHattersley]

Was great to talk to @STFC_B2B about how I’m trying to cobble together a career that combines my love of #science with my creative interests.

[STFC Particle Physics @PPD_STFC]

Think artistic skills can't help you pursue a career in #STEM? Think again!🤔

PPD Graduate Scientist @edd_dib and Communication Student @EmmaEHattersley recently spoke to @STFC_B2B about how creativity benefits their work @STFC_Matters.

More of their thoughts on #STEAM to come!

[STFC Innovations @STFC_B2B]

You've heard of the STEM sector, but have you heard of STEAM?

Over the next few weeks, we're going to be hearing from people across @STFC_Matters's campuses, whose job involves creativity, or are similarly creative in their spare time 🎨

What does STEAM mean to you?

[Science and Technology Facilities Council @STFC_Matters]

Stitching science! 🪡

Angelique, our communications placement student at @RutherfordApLab, used her amazing crochet skills to make mascots representing RAL’s six scientific departments.

Meet them in the thread 🔽

#OnThisDay in 1993, the #WorldWideWeb entered the public domain, making it free to use, for everyone, forever. 🥳

British computer scientist @timberners_lee invented the Web🕸️ in 1989 whilst working @CERN, to help people share #data - a challenge for such a large organisation!

[Emma Hattersley @EmmaEHattersley]

@Thievesbook @SpaceKate @Gemma_Lavender @timmermansr @LibbyJackson__ @AhlamAbdi_ @phalpern There’s also an interesting perspective on this in Otto Frisch’s autobiography “What little I remember” (I love the choice of title)

It's #WorldPoetryDay! We've had great fun writing some particle physics #poems of questionable quality...

First, a #Haiku about #T2K, the particle physics experiment based in Japan. 🇯🇵

You can find out more about how we work with @Tokai2Kamioka here 👇https://t.co/ZS4i4jnsZf

[STFC Particle Physics @PPD_STFC]

We heard everyone was talking about the #DuneMovie and got quite excited... turns out it's not about @DUNEScience 😭😭😭

You can find out more about how we support our favourite #DUNE, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, here 👇

It's #InternationalWomensDay this Friday!

To celebrate #IWD2024, @STFC_Matters is featuring some of the women who made vital contributions to STEM. 💡

Read more about physicist Lise Meitner, who helped discover nuclear fission, here 👇

[STFC Particle Physics @PPD_STFC]

This #ThrowbackThursday we're looking back to the 'No Time To Chill' outreach event, ran by @isisneutronmuon!

Members of our department had a great time helping with some of the activities, including making proton cookies and UV detector pipe cleaner people 🌞

[Emma Hattersley @EmmaEHattersley]

@Thievesbook Thank you!

[Emma Hattersley @EmmaEHattersley]

Me, go to CERN? Definitely didn’t talk about that to anyone I know ever…

To those who don’t regularly speak to me in person, why not read how I found the trip?

If I’ve talked to you about it a gazillion times already, why not read this slightly more eloquent account?

[STFC Particle Physics @PPD_STFC]

Ever wondered what it's like to see the #LargeHadronCollider up close?🔎

Our communication student recently visited @CERN for the 1st time - she may have been a little excited...
Come along on her tour in the latest @Medium article from @STFC_Matters 👇

🗞️ Local media people: I'm giving evidence to this House of Lords inquiry next week.

They want to know about the state of local news and the challenges and threats publishers face. If any indy publishers want to chat before my appearance on Tuesday, please get in touch.
