✨💧 New Publication Alert 💧✨ My paper alongside Radu Cimpeanu and Paul Milewski is finally available on Proceedings of the Royal Society A !! The paper titled "Modelling two-dimensional droplet rebound off deep fluid baths" captures the dynamics of a droplet rebound on a deep liquid bath🧵1/4

Hallo! I'm not very good at using this platform, but I am quite good at sometimes remembering to tell people where they can find me. I'll be live over on twitch doing some co-working study streams this week, and I'll be doing some maths and fundraising May 21st (more to follow). Come say hi!

The book I'm reading got to a sad moment, so I decided to catch up on my Buffy rewatch. Only I forgot that my next episode is The Body... Looks like we're having a crying night no matter what

I've had an amazingly full circle moment today where I was invited to speak at the applied mathematics seminar in Cardiff University. I completed my undergraduate in Cardiff in 2019, so to go back just after completing my PhD and share my success with the people who inspired me was a lovely feeling.

The maths department building at Cardiff. The Cardiff university logo - a red square with "Cardiff University, Prifysgol Caerdydd" at the top of the building with the word "ABACWS", the name of the building, going vertically down the side. The view is leaning up from the base of the building with a blue sky behind it. The building is modern with slate grey mismatched panelling, copper window frames, and the ground floor has tall glass walls.

For people who've had to chair talks, what's your favourite way to ensure your speakers don't run over? I'm enjoying watching someone use my favourite method - stand menacingly by the side of the stage when the time is up.

Adding to my list of first time SciComm experiences: Yesterday I did my first school visit to share my talk "Everyday Fluid Dynamics" with a group of passionate A level students. I had a lot of fun, and the students did too - if their many, many questions were anything to go by!

Shwmae! With the mass migration it seems the appropriate time to introduce myself, I'm Kat and I do maths! You can find me at my day job as an Innovation Research Associate, on twitch teaching maths and chatting about academia, or doing talks about cool things! I love puns, games, and lofi remixes 💜
