Few pics from Nine Lessons for Norwich Science Festival last month. We covered everything from robots to rocks & Higgs to hippos. Inc @robinince.bsky.social, @helenczerski.bsky.social, @particleclara.bsky.social, @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social + others Pics by Norwich Science Festival and Luke Witcomb.

It's a weird feeling when you see a comments section of a video and there are people you've never met in there discussing you 😅

New video! I went on a tour of the @cmsexperiment.bsky.social at @cern.bsky.social with Prof. @freyablekman.bsky.social ⏬ youtu.be/dumEjuLWo3Q

We are headed to Norwich Science Festival soon! Solo events from @robinince.bsky.social, @particleclara.bsky.social & @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social plus a special Nine Lessons for Norwich show on Fri night with extra special guests inc. @helenczerski.bsky.social! All tix norwichsciencefestival.co.uk

Check out the gallery of pics from this year's Nine Lessons shows featuring @robinince.bsky.social and all of our special guests including @particleclara.bsky.social, @soozuk.bsky.social & @anjanakhatwa.bsky.social Gallery: www.flickr.com/photos/theco...

And now here's your first look at the first poster for our massive new docuseries, For the Record: An Incomplete History of Music, that's out next year.

Drie colleges over de kleinste deeltjes op het @nikhef.bsky.social verzorgd door master student Niels ter Linden en Stichting Oud Geleerd Jong Gedaan. Bij het laatste college is er (dankzij @particleclara.bsky.social) een live bezoek bij @atlasexperiment.bsky.social op @cern.bsky.social

*cough* If you're gift shopping for anyone interested in how the world works, do consider these. Storm in a Teacup is all about the physics of everyday life and Blue Machine is all about how the ocean works - the water itself, which is the biggest story on Earth. Share the joy of nature & science!

Looking forward to this year's Nine Lessons! There are still some tickets left if you're near London 😊

The Cosmic Shambles Network@cosmicshambles.com · 8mo ago

Ok. That's the run orders for all four shows of Nine Lessons done. They'll change about nineteen times between now and the shows, but we have to start somewhere. Dec 18, 19 & 20 at Kings Place. Tickets from www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/nin...

Today I found out that a bunch of Gen Z folks I know don't eject USB sticks before removing them from a computer. Is this a universal thing? I'm genuinely curious.

Happy #PrideinSTEMDay! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ ATLAS proudly celebrates the incredible diversity of our scientific community. Our varied backgrounds, perspectives and identities drive excellence in research. We are committed to advancing the recognition and representation of our LGBTQ+ colleagues — today and every day.

⭐️🔭Applications open at Anton Pannekoek Institute in Amsterdam for the 7th ASPIRE program: aspire.science.uva.nl. This 2026 summer school provides astronomy research experience for talented MSc students from countries where opportunities to move into a PhD program are limited. [1/2]

But it does have a fun swirl feature before you get to the graphite block 😄

Happy International Day of LGBTQIA+ People In STEM! How are you celebrating it? #LGBTQSTEMDay #PrideInSTEM

Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes. www.euclid-ec.org/here-comes-t... #ESA #Sun #SpaceWeather #space

Out of curiosity, do I know someone (who knows someone) who counts spiders in rainforests? I want to use a short clip of them working for a video and I'd love to use a real scientist. #spiders

🎤 Are you passionate about science? Show us! 😉 To mark the 20th anniversary of FameLab International, CERN is teaming up with FameLab to invite you to share your love for science and win fantastic prizes.

A massive thank you to the folks from the STFC & Boulby Underground Laboratory for showing me around for #DarkMatterDay! We went 1km underground & I spoke with people who do this every day to better understand how our universe works. It was such a unique experience & I can't wait to show you more!!

Let's go on a Dark Matter Hunt! It's almost Dark Matter Day -- also known as Halloween 👻 🎃 -- and I'm really excited to be heading to the STFC’s Boulby Underground Laboratory! This is a unique facility where scientists hunt for the missing matter that makes up our Universe. 🌌

If you're near #Cardiff, book tickets to this, you won't regret it!

Editing long form videos takes ages 🥹

🗓️ Coming soon! The untold story of our pioneering 25-year #Cluster mission that studied the invisible solar storms impacting our Earth 🧪🔭 ☀️ 'Seas of the Sun: The story of Cluster', a documentary by @spacerocksofficial.bsky.social and @science.esa.int, will premiere here, 30 October, 19:00 CET 👇
