The end of an (admittedly quite short) era today as it’s my last day at SMG and as part of the STEM Ambassador programme. I’ve loved the last couple of years and done some amazing things.

Not sure what's coming next at the moment which is a new thing for me!

@d_yellowlees Bloody hell mate, that looks incredible!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

@AdamBienkov It also only mentions the Conservative Party once in the entire leaflet, in the context of ‘Under our Conservative Government’. There’s no other clue to which party she belongs to and emphasises that she is an ‘independent voice’.

@jjsanderson He had it for years, it worked with specialist billing software for milk rounds that only ran on Windows 95. Pretty sure he was still using it well into the XP era

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

@LottieHaigh Congrats!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

@jjsanderson I’ll take one if you still have any? Not sure I need another social network but I feel like I’m missing out!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

Also, if you/someone you know is looking for someone with experience of public engagement, STEM communication and general project/event/stakeholder management then get in touch!

@d_yellowlees Asking myself the exact same question, wouldn't mind a new RPG and it does look like a lot of fun...

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

This multiple social media account thing is going to get really annoying isn't it?

In other news I do have an account in the other place: https://t.co/yLR8F8AGiI (I also have the same username literally everywhere)

Second Half Marathon ☑️

Completed the #leedshalfmarathon @runforall just under my target of 1:49 with 1:48:44, also knocking 30 seconds off my Great North Run time.

Now to eat my body weight in pizza!

Not long left to take advantage of the Early Bird tickets for the BIG Event.

Would 100% recommend for any scicommers, it's a brilliant few days and you get to meet lots of lovely people

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

It's a great job (I'm biased but it's also true) with freedom to do exciting things and get involved with interesting projects. Plus you get to work with our amazing @STEMAmbassadors!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

I have a vacancy in my team! We're looking for a new Manager for the Greater Manchester area in the @STEMteamHUB_TP.

Link to find out more and apply is here: https://t.co/zFjQQB7LZI

Happy to have a chat with anyone that is interested!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

First @parkrunuk completed!

A lot muddier than my usual run but a lot of fun. Can't believe it's taken nearly 3 years of running for me to do one. @ Oakwell Hall Country Park https://t.co/WMI6s9krrC

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

We have two jobs going in my team @STEMteamHUB_TP! Both are Engagement Officers, one based at @MediaMuseum and one at @RailwayMuseum. They're both great jobs and happy to chat with anyone about it.

@d_yellowlees Given the amount of milk and chocolate involved in each one, I'm not sure it's possible. But if you do find one then let me know!

[Chris Snowden @snowd99]

@d_yellowlees We got one as a wedding present and it’s great. We go through so much of it!

Fantastically good idea from @philjemmett and I'll be joining in as well. And theres £2 in the pot already.

[Phil Jemmett @philjemmett]

Final decision... been back/forth whether to boycott or watch and be grumpy about it

I'll watch England matches but for every goal that England score I'll donate £2 to an LGBTQ+ charity

Let's have suggestions for great causes to donate to for anyone else who wants to join in!
