@EdWhiting1 Congratulations, Ed! Welcome home! 🏡

[James Stark @KingTekkers]

We’ll be highlighting features from that very first year as 2024/25 continues. The legacy of the Yorkshire College of Science alive and well!

[HPS Leeds @hpsleeds]

Did you know that 2024 marks the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the Yorkshire College of Science, precursor to the @universityleeds?

Well, now you do!

Exactly 150 years ago the “Bradford Observer” reported: “the first session will commence on Monday, October 26th, 1874”.

It is entirely possible that there is a glitch with BBC Weather. Or, more worryingly, that my umbrella is at risk from the *checks notes* 13,353 mph winds, continuing metronomically throughout the day! @bbcweather

I'm really pleased to see the first of my series of blog posts with @thackraymuseum up on their website! The posts are inspired by aspects of the new 'You Choose' exhibition & the first focuses on the onboarding display on glasses. Please share!

It was a true pleasure to join @DownieLive and @gazelligpoker (and Ed!) for this narrowboating adventure, featuring an epic flight of locks, superb weather, great food/company, and a monumental jump fail... https://t.co/haIy61J4sD
