@nigelslater.bsky.social In your Christmas fruit cake recipe I can't see when to add the fruit and hazelnuts to the batter. Is it before or after the flour? Thanks.

As promised, here are some nudibranchs I saw yesterday on the docks. The first one is Dendronotus venustus, the second and third are Hermissenda crassicornis and the last one, which I had to hang half off the dock to reach, is Coryphella verrucosa.

Yu Chengyou is one of China’s most prominent contemporary printmakers. Chengyou's favorite subjects often reflect traditional elements of Chinese art, including fans, tea bowls, and musical instruments. He is particularly skilled in calligraphy, a recurring feature in the background of his prints.

One of my new resolutions is to avoid buying print books from Amazon—so I finally set up an account on Bookshop.org, which benefits indie bookstores. I should have done this sooner. They had the book I wanted in stock and I was able to choose Women and Children First as beneficiary of the sale. Win!

A favorite commission this year, a dividing cell with an extra detail. Colleagues of a retiring researcher commissioned me to add the specific structure she worked on—the spindle pole body—to the sculpture. Here it is close up, in sterling silver embedded in the bronze nuclear membrane. 🔬#SciArt

Another improvised leaf wrap-around on a tiny cup. Could possibly be used as an egg cup, or shot glass…. really a glaze test, but a lovely one, if I do say so myself.

A duo of amphipods have made this radiolarian their home. Radiolarians are part of the marine #plankton. Individual radiolarians are normally hundredths to tenths of millimeters in size, but some species amass into colonies like this one which may reach size of a whole centimeter! #marinelife 🦑

Is this ancient evidence of a sore loser at board games?! 😂
About 1,000 years ago, this beautifully carved 'Tables' game was smashed to pieces with an axe and thrown into a rubbish pit at Gloucester Castle!
Excavated in 1983, it's the world's oldest complete tables gaming set.

'Looking at the Snow.' (c1930) By the deftest of touches, Christopher Nevinson takes us right to a place and makes it real. Although we are given no clue to the actual location or who the figure is in the painting, it is immaterial.
