Time to say farewell (with a sizeable pour) to this old friend. It’s been one of my absolute favourite whiskies over the last few years. Benromach from a bourbon cask hitting the spot perfectly. Aberdeen Whisky Shop don’t half pick some amazing exclusive bottlings #Whisky

☀️ | On Saturday, 2 August 2025, staff and PhD students from across @uofgsii.bsky.social came together for a fantastic day trip to Millport.
Organised by Social Committee Chair Dawn Mylet, the group enjoyed a cycle around the island, the fresh sea air, stunning views - and ice cream! 🚴⛵️🍦

If heterochromatin is really a liquid-like condensate, why is it not spherical?
We investigated whether mechanical interactions between a condensate and a fiber network can explain the variety of morphologies seen in phase-separated nuclear compartments
