I like popular maths and science (particularly astronomy), cricket, trains, sometimes I obsess over videogames. I've been working at @techniquest.org for 13 years now. Autistic, non-binary, he/they.

Had a spare potassium permanganate/washing up liquid mix set up the other day. Would've been a shame to waste it. #techniquest #science #charity 🧪

Went to the cricket at Sophia Gardens today! Got treated to an absolute masterclass of a run chase by Joe Root, dragging England from 2-2 and 133-5 to overhaul WI's 308 with three wickets left. Here he is bringing up his 150: #ENGvsWI 🏏

Managed to animate some Lemmings walking along on the Animate It! machine at @techniquest.org . Surprised how well it loops, wasn't aiming for that! 🧪🎮

I love coots, moorhens and the other rails. Mostly for the hilarious array of clown hooter noises they make. By the way, for context this is the Cadoxton River in the Vale of Glamorgan, in a part where a series of weirs pool the water up.

I am now the proud owner of something that I've low-key wanted since childhood.

If it helps any, here's a simulation of it reappearing it in the #techniquest Planetarium. Turned it on this morning and was like "huh that's weird, where's Saturn?"

Had a situation earlier today where a squirrel was not only hogging my parents' bird feeder, but hogging it from another squirrel! The other squirrel is at the base of the feeder, behind some bushes.
