Please note this advice. Drownings increase when air temperature goes above 30C. It is a very dangerous time of year; the water is still cold enough to produce cold shock. Spread the word, lifesaving through education. #physiology
The @metoffice have issued an alert for this weekend as England is set to see its first heatwave of the year.
After a number of recent drownings we want to encourage everyone to take care whilst in or near the water this weekend. Please share our advice: bit.ly/3IYSDFm
I love when kids ask questions that are really loosely connected to the talk. It can sometimes feel like a distraction but it means we’ve created a safe space to ask big questions.

Hats off to @FrancesCoombey advocating for science, astronomy and the beauty of dark sky Galloway on @ITVBorderLife right now. Well done Frances, our lovely neighbour in Kirkcudbright
Played an overly competitive game of hop skip jump last night on the beach with my parents, landed wrong and now I can’t walk. Todays graduation ceremony is going to be interesting… 😂
Just tuned into an interesting talk from @emsque about her new book 'The Last Stargazers'.
I loved when she talked of the adventures associated with stargazing - who knew astronomy was 'Indianan Jonesesque'!
A great start to #BigBangWeek

Yesterday's dunk at Carrick Beach. The perfect way to spent the weekend despite the grey clouds! #gomakethemostofit @GOoutdoors
Hi my name is Frances and I'm taking part in the #GlobalScienceShow
Today, I'll be chatting about some science on the beach. Have you ever found these intriguing sea creatures?
Follow along with the whole show and check out @Virtu_Solano who is up next.

Just learnt about the various methods of CPR in Space, as well as some of the physiological changes that astronauts may experience. Really really interesting talk. Thank you @cosmic_scot @WigtownBookFest
Just listened to a talk by @na_case for the @WigtownBookFest and I've never wanted to go Aurora Borealis hunting so much 🌌
