A little nod to Peter Higgs, to mark his passing. I interviewed him at Cheltenham Science Festival a few years ago, and asked him to sign this silly note, which he was delighted to do! There are only two of these in existence (a certain other Irish comic has the other). RIP.

My scicomm MSc dissertation featured Madame Dragonfly. A fascinating person and scientist. Sorry to miss the lecture. Looking forward to the article Clodagh Finn

💔 Our hearts break for Nealy 💔 We tell him he'll have a family, but when?

He keeps getting overlooked 🥺

Nealy's only 4 yrs old, has lots of doggy pals & he is adored by the kennel crew, given all the love they can - but kennels aren't a home 💔

Pls share 🙏
