If anyone is in London with time free today head down to #ExRdFest. Wish I could be there!

@vandeflierdt It looks awesome guys. Hope you have a great time!

‘The Barrier’! #OnThisDay #OTD in 1841, James Clark Ross discovered the largest ice shelf in the world, later to bear his name. ‘We might, with equal chance of success, try to sail through the cliffs of Dover, as to penetrate such a mass’ @RoyalNavy @royalsociety pic John Weller

Just found out about this recycling scheme for contact lenses. I currently throw all my packaging into the bin but definitely going to start collecting them up and dropping them off to a local collection point #recycle #contactlenses https://t.co/LGfCiMhnSS

Really interesting podcast series that got me through my new year runs. I've learnt a lot! Thanks @DLanceBlack and @BBCSounds @bbc5live

Feeling proud of my Christmas wrapping this year: everything is either recyclable or re-usable! Not sure how the family will feel about the no sellotape but I'm pleased #sustainablechristmas #christmaswrapping #recycle #noplastic #reuse

[Rachel Allison @RachelBertram3]

Had a lovely time today volunteering with @tcvbateast at Alexandra Palace and helped to build my first dead hedge!

1,700 people answered a survey that asked them to attach probabilities to 23 common words and phrases. The results are summarized in the figure. There’s a real possibility that it’s is the most interesting chart you’ll see this week. https://t.co/rwiwC4uqF2

Good luck to all the pint of science first events today! I've looking forward to attending some later in the week #pint18 https://t.co/6PkLIxoxEe

[Pint of Science UK @pintofscience]

Today is the first day of #pint18 and it's also our birthday!

Our first event took place on 14 May 2013, so happy birthday to us, yay! We're celebrating with some cake 🍰 🎂(and maybe a 🍻!).

See you later down the pub!

Happy Birthday Sir David Attenborough, 92 today! Here he is on Ross Island with Adelie penguins, Mt Erebus behind (better photo!) Research vessel & icebreaker RRS Sir David Attenborough, currently under construction, will be sailing in Antarctic waters by 2019 @NERCscience

The #magicelements team did a fantastic job at #impfest last weekend transforming the under-12s into mini, climate change-conquering scientists. More about what they got up to here:
