I’ve had such a fun year telling science stories with wonderful people around the world 😊 so wanted to say thanks with a thread of some 2017 highlights! 🙏
Kicking off with @BBCEarth & @aluciaprod who I had the real privilege of working with on #blueplanet2 🌍 #ourblueplanet

@BBCEarth @aluciaprod Next up is the @cbbc #BluePeter team - they are just fantastic & it’s always a laugh + mega exciting to do science items on such an amazing show

Thanks to the @BBC_Teach team for the two really great #bbcterrificscientific #bbclivelessons. Live is always very fun, especially when it involves super speedy 🏎 or a misbehaving 🐪 & 🐍!!
