Just had a sudden rush on one of my SDG shorts. A burst of 300 views, more than it has cumulated over nearly two years prior.

Lots of interest in SDG9 today!

We did an experience and accessibility survey for neurodivergent folk at EGU this year and posters sessions came up sooooo many times. Nightmare for so many, including myself. They need a rethink.

Sorted out the kit for my forthcoming Play Your PhD workshop with the Flood CDT students.

Inspired by LEGO SERIOUS PLAY, the workshop develops participants' imagination as a skill and shows them how to use their research to help others see the unseen.

Xavi is talented but has no pace, showboats, and makes poor decisions. That's why we have him and not PSG. Classic Spurs signing #COYS

😴 Poets on sleepless nights

A new study (by me!) analysed poems about insomnia, revealing how poetry captures the emotional, physical, and social impact of sleeplessness.

That said, I never finished Catch 22 or Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy as I didn't see the point in reading the next chapter.

Guessing for Catch 22 that sort of is the point.

I'm currently trying to get through a non-fiction audiobook. It was well hyped and seemed relevant to lots of my work, but I just find it bad and self-indulgent... I just can't see the point of it.

You can only pick one:
- Foodie trip to the Archean
or
- Critter spotting in the Cambrian?

Neither? Ok... I have some others too. Check them out > www.luciaperezdiaz.com/category/all...

Well done to Luca Williams-Barnett - so young to have played for a Premier League side AND to have invented a cricket scoring system. #COYS
