This week @philjemmett is doing science concepts as fairy tales. See if you can guess from his description what my suggestion was
A request (@majikmutton)
A long time ago, the creatures in the world were tiny and just little blobs of goop floating in the sea🦠
One day the air was filled with oxygen🌬️which was nice to breathe so over time they developed💪arms+legs🦵so they could wear t-shirts👕+sunbathe😎

@SHAREWyatt hoping you might be able to make some good suggestions!
Hey #wideningparticipation #outreachworks #wearencop Twitter folks, I'm looking for some WP literature for an outreach practitioners study group I'm running.
Any suggestions? 🧐
What're your must-reads?

@MedievalMJJ 🤩 a new edition in the Cantilupe saga—can this be true‽
(Glad it's not just me that's terrible at keeping on top of the bloggage btw.)

Aim your #SciIn280 posers at the industrious @philjemmett. Challenge him with your brain-scratchingest science topics to sum up in one tweet!
Want to try something out- explaining something from the world of science in a single tweet. I'm up for the challenge of squeezing it in! Any topics any of you want to hear about?
Going to use #SciIn280 if you want to join in or suggest a topic! #scicomm #scienceeducation

The lovely @uvihervalli pointed out yesterday that I'd been doctored for a year now. I'm dubbing it my #vivaversary
On my way home from the #publicclassics workshop. Big thanks to @emmabridges (from @IcsDirector) & @AprilPudsey (@HistoryManMet) for hosting, & to all the speakers and fellow attendees of course!
Parting thought: @StepheHarrop got me thinking how my understanding of Greek tragedy was transformed by the Legally Blonde musical with @Sheridansmith1, the ΔN Greek sorority girls reinterpreted as a classical Greek chorus. #publicclassics live in the unlikeliest of places ...
#publicclassics @emmabridges ≈ "get out of uni spaces into cafes, pubs, parks, not everyone feels welcome at uni."
Yes absolutely! Especially if considering #wideningparticipation
Today we’re live-tweeting #publicclassics workshop held at @ManMetUni with @IcsDirector @emmabridges @AprilPudsey !
Happy to have had a suggestion make the cut! This sums up so much about the Wii: the MiiChannel tune *should* ≈ annodyne lobby music 🎵, but it's quirky, fun & somehow just works so well.🤘
To promote #AGDQ2019 I am sharing awesome video game music all this week! Today's #SOTD suggest by @majikmutton. Didn't know it was composed by Kazumi Totaka. Extra cool!!! Love Totaka's song easter eggs → buff.ly/2FgGjRy

Ouh man I'd forgotten how deep this song is imprinted. I didn't even own a SNES.

@BBCNews bit confused why Chicago hospital doctor is "Ms" but more senior, male colleague gets to be "Dr"? bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…
