Last staff talk at @DaresburyLab reflecting on my last 6+ years as Executive Chair of @STFC_Matters. During this time, Daresbury Lab has gone from strength-to-strength, delivering great science and innovation. A big thank you to my wonderful friends and colleagues in the NW.

View across Edinburgh from the rooftop of the Higgs Centre for Innovation at ⁦@STFC_Matters⁩ ⁦@ukatc⁩ during my final visit as Executive Chair. Tomorrow ⁦@DaresburyLab⁩ although might be hard to compete with today’s view.

In Lund today for the European Spallation Source Council ⁦⁦@essneutron⁩ . It will be my last council meeting after more than six years, so it was particularly pleasing to see the fantastic progress with this flagship European neutron source project.

Spent the last couple of days at ⁦@Fermilab⁩ for the International Neutrino Council and ⁦@DUNEScience⁩ RRB meeting. Great to catch up with colleagues in the US and to hear about the amazing progress with LBNF/DUNE. Wilson Hall looking as good as ever!

Going underground (again). On Tuesday we were delighted to host members of the @UKRI_News Board at @STFC_Matters @BoulbyLab in the North East of England. Discussed the search for Dark Matter and the wide range of multi-disciplinary science opportunities at 1.1 km underground.
