Hello everyone! I work in the Education Office of the European Space Agency.

I love both the film and the book for PHM, and thought that this sub would be a great place to share the conference, both due to the space topics of the story, and the fact that Ryland Grace is a school teacher.

Also, ESA is where both Eva Stratt and Dr. Lokken worked before Project Hail Mary.

Next week, we are running a free two-day Teach with Space Online Conference for teachers from ESA Member and Associate Member States about how you can use space education to enhance your teaching.

We have plenary sessions from ESA experts on topics such as: Is there life out there, understanding our star, the future of space transportation, observing our planet from space, and many more. There will be many splinter sessions — split between primary and secondary education — about many different topics to learn how you can use space to engage your students, such as astrobiology, Earth Observation, space science, space exploration, and accompanying classroom resources.

You will also meet ESA reserve astronaut Carmen Possnig and have the chance to network with fellow teachers from other countries.

You can find the link to the conference here: https://learn.esa.int/teachertraining/explore/esa-teach-space-online-conference-2026

I hope to see some of you at the conference! 😊

Three of my Guinea Piggies (Molly, Ginny and Lily) love peaflakes, and I give two per pig when I wake up in the morning and when I come back from work/being outside for a few hours. Luna occasionally eats peaflakes but usually she doesn't go for them and, when she does, it often sits in her mouth and then she drops it.

I could give her an extra piece of cos lettuce or pepper or cucumber but then I feel that's unfair on the rest of the pigs.

What other treats do you have for your piggies?

(Luna is the bigger one with a black and white head and brown on her back, nearest the tunnel. Lily has the long hair. Molly is the possible abby. Ginny is the smaller one with a black, white and yellowish-brown colouring.)
