Football is not more important than human rights and human lives. #BoycottQatar2022

@StevenPears Funny, I thought the downside was not being able to stand if sat for more than 5 minutes

I am being paid to hit the floor with a sledgehammer (in the name of science - I swear!)

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

Cute frilly socks + steel toes is a look and I won’t hear any different

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

@StevenPears @DiamondLightSou @OpsydiaLtd I think so! Thank you 🥰

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

I’ve loved every minute of working for @DiamondLightSou, but very excited to announce I’m starting a different type of diamond adventure with @OpsydiaLtd in two months! 💎

Super cute new job pressie from a pal that I thought you’d all enjoy as much as I do

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

@ Career gal pals!
It’s so hard for us women to navigate leadership, it’s a double edged sword where we’re either too cold or too weak.
Remarkable Leadership - Danielle Macleod is free on Kindle right now (I ordered the hard copy for the book smell) #InternationalWomensDay2023

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

Really interesting #InternationalWomensDay talk at @DiamondLightSou. I’ve never thought about women being more likely to job hop but it makes sense when they’re overlooked for promotions!

@ChrisRiffBeard This is an automatic hammer. I usually tap a surface manually to look at its modes but this does it for me a lot more accurately

Finally get to play with this beasty new toy

It has been a scary few days but I’m incredibly greatful to be here. If I lived in another country without our NHS there’s no way I could’ve afforded the level of care I received. Support our heroes on strike and our amazing system 💜 #NHS #nhsstrikes

[Diamond Light Source @DiamondLightSou]

All of this is vital work preparing for our exciting #DiamondII upgraded programme! Thanks to Jo, Davide, and the team - and to all our #Engineers, #Technicians and #ScienceCommunity - who are bringing these innovations to life

The vibration team has been doing a free-free modal analysis to figure out the behaviour of the girder when it is under constrained, where the 17.5 T, 8 m girder was hoisted up on the crane (and they have the crane ride to show for it!)

[Diamond Light Source @DiamondLightSou]

Some great photos from @Jothephysicist and vibration specialist of her work on vibrational modes for the #DiamondII dummy girder with senior engineer and vibration specialist @dacrivelli 🧵

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

Thanks for the talk at @DiamondLightSou, @jimalkhalili! Was very interesting and inspirational!

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

You know the phrase dance like no one is watching? That’s what I just did. I didn’t realise a whole tour group were stood there watching me.

Coaster update! One step closer to crazy cat lady #3DPrinting

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

Thanks for all the lovely birthday wishes. I bought myself a ridiculous headset and have no regrets 💚🐈

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

@lskiuk I’ve only played it for a few hours but finding it really calming, it’s a breath of fresh air to what I usually play.
Thank you!

[Jo Melton @Jothephysicist]

Playing Stray has put me in a cat mood. Currently 3D printing a cat coaster. Update to follow. 🐱
