Not a bad attempt at a kidney by AI. Glad I don't have one (or two), but I'm sure it'll get there eventually.

Side discussion in the @cerg.bsky.social symposium about misconceptions around pH (and how these can be perpetuated in the language we use) has given me an excuse to share the poster I produced with @andy.compoundchem.com when working @theeef.bsky.social

I've been using this gorgeous oak tree as a resource for an after-school club.
We've done a moss safari (@mosssafari.bsky.social) cultured some yeast (@samtmugford.bsky.social) and other microbiology. Today we made sourdough rolls. The dough turned UI red, so certainly sour.
