Had great fun at the standcomedyclub.bsky.social as part of #TheProvocateurs!
They asked me to come back next year!
Hopefully I'll stop sweating at some point...

The fluorescent paint, LEDs and coat hangers have arrived...
Still waiting on the mirror.

Fielding questions from some very engaged young folk as part of Science Insights today.
Topics of particular interest were:
How is AI changing research?
How far will genetic engineering of humans go?
Where do you get your fish t-shirts?

Another 2 Nuffield Research Placement students are coming to the end of their projects in our facility.
They've been helping to study which forms of environmental enrichment impact egg production.
Good luck with the write up, Dexter and Abigail!

All getting a bit real now. Oo er.

I know things are bad when I see the same political posts appearing in my polite, professional science account that I do on my personal account...
US based colleagues, you are in our thoughts.

Apply by 31 March: edin.ac/3R5dEBU

Are you involved in zebrafish research in the UK?
It has been essentially impossible to import zebrafish into the UK since September 2024 due to newly implemented regulations.
We'd like to change that. Can you lend your support?
