PhD chemist etc. 56yo beginner boulderer (6A-ish), climbing walls & being as gibbon-like as my ageing body allows me. More & more into health eating, avoiding the UPF/non food we haven't evolved to eat

Using Bluesky https://deck.blue/ - Tweetdeck analogue
And the blacklight hall - which looks good - but climbing in low, weird light isn't really very pleasant

Show your daughter the Bride of Frankenstein bouldering.

Thank you for your attention to this nutter

(Too close to the truth, given the phrase's origin)

He sounds like a squabbling 10 year old turd -- which is an insult to all decent squabbling 10 year old turds

Watermelon art like this?

Here's another food 'resembling a chemistry experiment'. Got to be aware of huge generalisations with such messaging - people are incorrectly chemphobic enough as it is.

Certainly not all vegetables are bad at all -- some are essential building blocks & antiinflammatory etc.

@lycomorpha.bsky.social btw not sure any chemist would mix as you do on the glass - maybe you have to do it that way - but a little vibrating lab mixer could be a great aid for mixing paint

Some examples - via our AI friend - maybe right, maybe wrong, you know how it goes...

Maybe there's a hyphen missing ;)

You're right - they didn't measure it - maybe I'll ask for it next time - I just have to give the doc the list!

But I thought about iodine after looking into this TSH value

I always love this line "If you see a very long ingredients list with lots of chemical-sounding names, that's probably a good indication it almost definitely is an ultra-processed food." - here's a banana ... it's all about the ingredients (at the molecular level), not the length of the list #upf

I asked ChatGPT to attempt to distil my thoughts on the *messaging* around the term UPF #ultraprocessedfood #upf #upfsky - how did it do.

As with everyting around UPF - it's complicated, and vague.

(Getting to know heealthy ingredients is often much more simple - cut out the middle man!)

The trick is to look at the colour of the little hole, after removing the stem - takes the guesswork out of it :)

I learned another from Nelson's COA - debased heraldry! :)

There's a lot going on in there!

Definition of the word *xenobiotic* in the image

RE: Food: is it food—should it be considered as an ingredient in food—or should it NEVER be considered as an ingredient in food. I.e. do we have the 'bodily tools' to deal with it?

I asked ChatGPT for lecture content for fun - it started with critical thinking, questioning assumptions and ethics (in tech), not bad at all comsidering.

I find it an awesome tool, so useful in endless ways. Fabulous for throwing out initial thoughts and ideas

Probably ought to rename this guy given the damage it does! So as not to stigmatize The Gambia...

But in reality the @mrc HQ in Fajara, Gambia proudly has a very large metal/wire sculpture of their mosquito

There are 2 #chemsky feeds - and for some reason posts show up faster in one than the other - as in the image
