What really makes up everything? Science of atoms, galaxies and everything in between!
All rocket launches are awesome feats of engineering and science, but what made Demo-2 special? I’ve never watched a rocket launch in real life (I was meant to see the Parker Solar Probe launch in 2018, but it got pushed past the length of my visit to the space coast 😭) but every time I… Continue reading 5 things that made the SpaceX launch so cool!
A couple of days ago, I did a day in the life on my Instagram stories and thought I would type it up here- so welcome to a little insight into my life on lockdown as an aspiring scientist! 8:20: Lockdown was starting to get to me, so I’ve started using Headspace to start my… Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Quarantined Student
The amazing Soph Talks Science (read my interview with her here, or find her blog here!) started up a challenge on Instagram: explain your research/field of science in 5 levels of explanation: A child, a Teen, an Undergraduate, a Post-grad, and an Expert... I'm not an expert, nor do I have my own research yet,… Continue reading 5 level SciComm Challenge

Hopefully reading about her journey into science will keep you inspired during this difficult time (let me know how you guys are keeping busy during lockdown in the comments). J: Tell me… Continue reading Spectacular Scientists: Emily R
My first proper stargazing/astronomy experience So recently I was given a Celestron telescope to borrow for the summer! And seeing as I don’t have much else to do during this crazy time, I thought I might as well start straight away. I’ve attempted to use a telescope previously, but never really had much success, for… Continue reading Stargazing 101
I love listening to podcasts: they are an easy way to brighten up an early commute or to liven up the long put off the task of cleaning. Not only that, but they also supply you with endless conversation starters and random facts to pleasantly (?) surprise friends and colleagues with as you go about… Continue reading Spectacular Science Media: Podcasts to expand your knowledge in 2020
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I started this blog! The hours I spent last Christmas setting it up have paid off... since then, I have written 30,000 words, gained 190 instagram followers and published 25 blog posts (which have been seen by over 600 visitors!). What have been the Highlights? I went… Continue reading Never Trust An Atom turns One!
Space is probably my favourite area of science (as you have probably guessed due to the nature of most of my posts), as it involves so many aspects of science: Biology- to assist human space flight and look for life across the universe, Chemistry- to figure out the composition of planets and discover new kinds… Continue reading Women in Space: Past
'The World's Greatest Science Festival' Early last month, I got to go to New Scientist Live, a 4 day exhibition (though I only went to one day) run by New Scientist, showcasing the talents behind the stories run every week! Tickets are available to everyone, and with 120 talks across 7 stages, and over 150… Continue reading New Scientist Live 2019
If you were given the chance to go to space, would you? For many, including myself, it would be a truly amazing opportunity. But a question asked more rarely is: Should you? In 2019, the US government gave NASA 21 and a half billion dollars to spend. Sounds like a lot of money. And in… Continue reading Should We Go To Space?
