I returned to the super @bbcstudios.bsky.social Science team yesterday after maternity leave - clutching my coffee tightly ☕

Just arrived in San Francisco for a week (with 9month baby). Please shout if any must see/eat recommendations!
By chance we just stumbled upon the delightful Rick and Ann’s restaurant in Berkeley, which is apparently closing after 36years. Feel lucky to have caught the end of its 90s time warp.

Saw Kyoto at Soho Place Theatre last night - and feel so grateful for playwrights and diplomats alike
A story for our “Age of Disagreement”
About the strategies used to bring about discord
And about a (flawed but hopeful) moment when the world came together against the odds to speak as one

At my wedding earlier this year, friends surprised me with a set of “Desert Island Books” (US people check out the wonderful Desert Island Discs podcast for the ref).
Among them were books by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social (who is very much worth following on here if not already), and Lucy Jones:
