It's so important for people to experience science growing up, so that it doesn't have such a stigma. @imascientist really helps. #IAS2013

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

Nathan: I think that events like @imascientist really help the school students understand that science can be a career for anyone. #IAS2013

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

I really enjoyed the opportunity to tell the students in @imascientist what they wanted to know about science. #IAS2013

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

Answering the imaginative questions from the students in @imascientist really made me think outside my normal comfort zone. #IAS2013

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

@imascientist was a fantastic way to interact with school students. We got heaps of great questions and lots of chance to interact. #IAS2013

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

Participating in @imascientist was one of the most rewarding science outreach activities, I've ever taken part in. #IAS2013

The spacecraft will decend on parachute, then hover midair on rockets + lower the Mini-sized @MarsCuriosity on cables! http://t.co/HEaJi96R

Think the Men's 100m final is the most exciting thing on Sunday night? Mankind's next rover @MarsCuriosity will be landing at 6:30am BST Mon

Great news! Our dept awarded Athena SWAN Silver Award for our work supporting gender equality. Thanks to all staff involved! @EqualityinHE

A nonrotating cat with no torques must always have 0 angular momentum so how do they land on feet? Cute physics graphic http://t.co/1lyg9Bxj

Lego particle physics kits (made by @PhysicsatQM) - we can bring these to your school! Great review by @WiredGeekDad http://t.co/O3qWcviZ

Another What-If from @xkcd, "A Mole of Moles". Some physics, some biology and an example of how not to do maths? http://t.co/go9Ksjk4

Spectacular slow-mo video of a lightning bolt! http://t.co/GAG6a570 (This has been around before, but definitely worth sharing again)

"What would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90% the speed of light?" Great explanation from xkcd: http://t.co/p9YRYvBI

NL: Last tweet from me for #IAS2012. Been a lot of fun. If you're a scientist, I'd thoroughly recommend signing up. Have fun! @imascientist

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

NL: Bumped off at the last hurdle... oh well. Congratulations to Allan Pang, winner of the Yttrium zone #IAS2012 @xerophyte @imascientist

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

NL: 15 minutes to go until #IAS2012 winners are announced... exciting, huh? @imascientist

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

NL: Pulling out the tough questions now: If you could change 1 thing in the past what would you change and why? #IAS2012 @imascientist

[RoyalHollowayPhysics @PhysicsRHUL]

NL: @DivaAmon I think you more than kept up. But who can predict the vagaries of sudden death voting in the ruthless @imascientist arena eh?
