THE BALLAD OF VACUUM SCIENCE We don’t look at Dyson hoovers (they’re just short of atmosphere) We are several orders magnitude Down in pressure round here. We study right across the scales- Low, high to UHV- In the depths of space Is the best that you can see! But pressures low as that Are hard … Continue reading The Ballad of Vacuum Science
The Superconductivity Song
Many know that Electricity flows and There's often resistance according to Ohm Some of these conductors though Dropping to temperatures below Critical temp go: SUPERCONDUCTING. Chorus: It doesn't mean that perfect conductors are in existence Though they have zero resistance, For the magnetic fields are kicked out And have to wrap themselves round about This … Continue reading The Superconductivity Song
Fictional Engineers in Popular Culture
Recently, my little 10 year old cousin Olivia asked me what I was studying at university and I promptly told her engineering. She looked at me and said that that was really boring because it just made her think of a car mechanic. I rolled my eyes, this of course being a common misconception that … Continue reading Fictional Engineers in Popular Culture
On “Geek” Versus “Nerd”
A study on the cultural differences between nerdy and geeky using statistical analysis. Just brilliant. Read it.
The Pen Lid (again)!
I've been working hard developing models for the pen lid invention and have got around to uploading the computer monitor hook designs onto my Quirky page... here is a sneak preview...
ISEF Badges & Other Things

For those that don't know, at the Intel ISEF (International Science & Engineering Fair), the world's … Continue reading ISEF Badges & Other Things
Antarctica – But how do I get there?
To whomever it may concern, I really want to work in the Antarctic. Fact. I have done for a very long time and not just for penguins but for the whole thing - the cold, the expanse, the quiet but for creaking snow and ice, the odd people that end up down there, the challenge. … Continue reading Antarctica – But how do I get there?
STEM Website
Over the years of participating in a multitude of STEM competitions and events, apart from learning that there are some pretty awesome things in this world, I realised that there isn't one central place to go for a reilable, updated list of STEM events. I set about making the list that became my STEM page … Continue reading STEM Website
The Pen Lid Invention

I've created a Quirky profile and there are now 30 days to vote for it at http://www.quirky.com/ideations/508938 . Check it out please! I've updated … Continue reading The Pen Lid Invention
