Pride in STEM is 10 this month, and we are so proud to celebrate these 10 change-makers who were proposed and voted in by the community. Read about their work, their impact, and their commitment to improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM and beyond, here: prideinstem.org/2026/04/01/t...

Women managers take abuse allegations more seriously than men. Does that surprise me? Sadly, not really www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Firms with more women in top roles more likely to dismiss abusive men, study finds

IFS analysis also finds male-managed companies were more likely to have victim of abuse leave company

There is a new PhD opportunity in my group to study vortex dynamics in ultracold quantum mixtures. Get in touch if you want to play with lasers, build contraptions, and explore quantum systems on the macroscale. More info here: bit.ly/VortexDynami... Also: eqop.phys.strath.ac.uk/vsf-projects...

Our space potato (aka the vacuum chamber) is toasty! Currently baking gently.

Fishnish is campaigning to be the lab mascot.

I recently enjoyed a trip to the US Pacific Northwest. Lots of excellent physics conversations at DAMOP2025 in Portland, and a focused workshop on compressible turbulence at the UW's Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle. Of course I also took some time to walk in an old-growth forest!

We are hiring! I have an open postdoc position in my research group. More details here: bit.ly/PDRAQuantumMixtures

Now with windows...

Our vacuum build has begun!

Caught a few unexpected statues in Florence. I feel like these could spice up my next laser safety seminar.

Happy International Day of LGBTQIA+ people in STEM #LGBTQSTEMDay to all the brilliant folks in our community! And here in the UK, it’s the 20th anniversary of the repeal of Section 28 so join us in saying #NeverAgain to state sanction bullying and ignorance.

#HiSciSky I'm a queer physicist studying the collective behavior of quantum particles (aka schools of quantum 🐟) with dilute-gas superfluids. Currently building an ultracold atom experiment from scratch. Also interested in best-practice for improving EDI in physics. #LGBTQSTEM #Physics #WomenInSTEM
