Today #outreach @SchoolsObs welcomed over 100 pupils to @LJMUarts to mark @ScienceWeekUK. Through sharing their own stories, there is no doubt @CBurkeSci @HannahBranwood #Amina inspired the next generation of #WomenInSTEM24 #astronomy #conservation #futurescientists

Small children love to get messy making art to take home 👩🎨.
With 'Printing with light and time' in the #BSW24 Early Years activity pack, there's no paint or crayons, just paper, flat objects, sunshine & patience 🌞!
Find it here: britishscienceweek.org/activ…
Thanks @NSEAD1

This Saturday is the @bbceurovision @Eurovision and we couldn't help but wonder whether @SamRyderMusic lyrics were factually correct.
Fortunately, we have @AstroAndyN from @SchoolsObs @LJMU_Astro on hand to tell us what would really happen if we were up in space, man.
