This is by far my most over the top painting and it isn’t finished yet (although I am running out of room)
A pack of pretty pardalotes perched on precariously placed precious porcelain
Shows a not quite finished watercolour painting of highly detailed teapots and cups all stacked impossibly on each other with little spotted pardalotes hidden in amongst them

A fantastic set of three Thomsoneseque attic windows on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the shape of the space created between them, which somehow seems just as solid as the surrounding stone.

One of my favourite images of a Grey Seal this year. The ocean water is crashing in the background against a small rocky outcropping far out in the bay.

The head of a grey seal (which describes both the species and the colour) is popping up through the surface of rough ocean water in the morning sunlight, with a wave crashing against an unseen rocky outcropping in the background.

What does a ratfish have in common with a catshark?

Well, their trabecular and areolar mineralisation patterns, but not tesserae, of course! Read more in new state-of-the-art study on cartilaginous fish skeletons.

Good morning, Glasgow. So far this morning, there's been sunshine and rain, and even a rainbow, so who knows what the rest of the day has in store.

Our team attended the 'Swindon Imaginarium' yesterday, a science engagement pop-up shop run by @festivaloftomorrow.bsky.social, with activities about our #ClinicalTrials and #EarlyDiagnosis #research.

Great to see so many youngsters (and adults!) playing our games and inspired by research!
