My baby has pre-ordered me a Switch 2 for Mother's Day, which is so sweet and generous of her.

Hey what's been happening bsky?
I had a baby and she's perfect in every way and I'm hoping that baby vomit is good for your skin because I'm soaked in it 👍❤️‍🔥

Much excitement today with the very first users *ever* on MX3. Pretty amazing that in a few short years the old dewar handling area has turned into a fully functioning beamline! So keen for all the science to come! 👩‍🔬🧪💎

Fun thing about exclusively wearing giant floofy circus tent dresses to work for years is that you can spend your last day before parental leave surprising people with the fact you're pregnant.

Minimal aesthetic and lowercase track and 'album' names = insta-block from me. They're all AI sludge. I want lofi sludge made by 20 year olds discovering looping tools for the first time.

The most exciting times in science are when you see some results and make the Big Confused face.

The Gelada is a monkey with a tawny, brown shaggy coat- with males flaunting anespecially impressive mantle, intensely herbivorous, these primates spend their days hard at work in the grass mines using nimble fingers to select the best grass blades for eating. (Hiller 2000) #2025MMM

Mo The Plesiosaur (Ponteix):

In 1992, Bob St. Cyr found the fossils of a plesiosaur that lived 70 million years ago. To celebrate the discovery, Mo was constructed and welcomes people to the community. Mo is 11.5 metres long.

Australian election season is coming - it's time to know how your MP voted. Either enter their name (if you know who your member is) or your postcode and you will be able to see their voting record to see how your MP votes on issues that matter to you.

How does your MP vote on the issues that matter to you?
Forget what politicians say. What truly matters is what they do. And what they do is vote, to write our laws which affect us all.

Well I've found a local company that prints really good quality custom stickers which is very worrying for my bank balance

I would hop in the goo
I need tech companies to stop creating things from sci-fi that were cautionary tales and get to work inventing warm goo healing pod

Harry, of course I'll let you kick the football! The football's Union made! What's the point of a football that doesn't get kicked? I wouldn't want to waste valuable Union resources on a useless football! Why would I pull it away at the last second? I'm a busy man, Harry!

"What soothing techniques will you use during labour, do you think?"

Well I am always deeply calmed by longform video essays about academic fraud so probably audio from those...

Scavenger's Reign scoffs at 'world building' and dives straight into 'ecology building' instead and it rules.
Just finished Scavenger's Reign and I'm just blown away. A breathtaking love letter to the eco/biology corner of science fiction. Beautiful and enthralling and horrifying in the best ways.

Points for trying to the chef on Great British Menu who wanted to honour Dorothy Hodgkins for her work with 'X-rays' by making a pre-dessert shaped like a bone.

Charles Brooks' photos of the insides of musical instruments are phenomenal. I sent them to my sister-in-law who is a violinist, and she showed me a pic she took inside her own violin, which didn't really have the same majesty.

It was a blurry void with dust bunnies.

Happy National Protein Day! Even though I've been a protein crystallographer for ~5 years now, it never ceases to blow my mind that these intricate little molecular machines can form beautiful crystals that are useful for #structure determination!
