I had such a busy day on Friday (28th February) that I didn’t get time to post about our monthly MPS afternoon cake event. This month’s extravaganza was in honour of Athena Swan, the Bronze Award of which the Department of Physics and Astronomy hopes to earn later this year.
The eleven “special” cakes shown in the picture, each of which is in the shape of a swan, represent the eleven female members of academic staff in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences (out of about 60 total), and were consumed by them too! There were plenty of other cakes for the rest of us, but since they all involved chocolate I didn’t eat any…
