  • Some Pre-Adventure Thoughts

    I’m currently sitting in Aberdeen airport waiting to board my 9th flight of 2019. This time I’m heading to Heathrow and then on to Singapore, where I’ll stay for a week before leaving for Hong Kong. This travel thing has become almost second nature; I’ve got packing down to a fine art (if you don’t…

  • Good Things: January 2019

    My last post was a bit of a downer, so today’s blog post is intentionally designed to combat that. It’s all about good things, and I think I’m going to make this a monthly thing. If you enjoy it, let me know – give it a like, leave a comment, or perhaps think about ending…

  • Depression Doesn’t Just Go Away When You Go on an Adventure

    This is a weird post to write, but I think it’s important so I’m sitting down to write it in the hope that it helps someone else. I’ve lived with depression for a few years now. In reality it’s probably been more than a few years, but a few years ago a Doctor told me…

  • Artist-Scientists That You Should Know About

    Last week I posted about science and art, and how, in my opinion, creativity is something that is inherent to the success of both of these fields. Today I’m posting a few examples of scientists that are also artists – going some way to demonstrate my points from that blog post whilst showcasing some of…

  • Trip Update – 2 Weeks Down, 5 to Go!

    The last two weeks had passed more quickly than 14 days has ever passed in my life. On January 5th I started my Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship adventures in Toronto, Canada, I then headed to New York City, and now I’m in Manchester, New Hampshire – I figure it’s time for an update. Toronto…

  • Science and Art – a Natural Partnership or Two Very Different Fields?

    In my last post I explained the main aims that I have for the Fellowship that I am currently on; if you missed that, then in basic terms I want to explore how science and art can come together to improve the way that members of the public engage with science. Since that post I’ve…

  • Goals for 2019

    Yesterday I published a post reflecting on 2018 – a massive year for me that encompassed huge highs (hello PhD!), and some very real lows as well. Many of those lows were in relation to my personal life, and this blog is not the place to talk about them. That conscious decision to only include…

  • Reflections on 2018

    I’ve come to the end of my little Canadian holiday – Cameron has left Toronto to head back to the UK, and hard work on my WCMT fellowship starts next week. Wahhhhh. Well, it’s hardly the worst thing in the world, but I do miss him already. Anyway, emotions out of the way… it’s already…
