Peter Scott @dwpete.bsky.social

Former herder of information and global fixer of broken stuff
Living legally in France with my kiwi wife. Don’t call me an expat, I’m a Brexit refugee.

Nuclear chemist, copy writer, provider of nuts to Secret Squirrels.

A small pinned biography - more will be threaded as my muse dictates.

1) here's me as a toddler standing on the steps of my childhood home.

Well actually a college building where my parents lived and worked. It was a different kind of childhood being raised on campus
