I made my Icelandic partner an advent calendar of the British sweets he hasn't tried yet, what have I missed?

(Stopping at 20th when we go to Iceland)
A large rectangular cloth reusable advent calendar with pockets numbered up to 24, and three penguins in hats at the top. The sweets are; starbar, sherbert fountain, lion bar, wham, refreshers and vimbo bars, dpuble dip, double decker, swizzles lollies and parma violets, picnic bar, dib dab, rainbow drops, boost bar, jazzies, flump and candy necklace, toffee crisp, white mice, fizz pizza, millions, Dolly mix, freddo and cherry drops

One of my most out of focus puffin shots, but I love it so much

A photograph of a puffin stood among grass and bright yellow dandelions, with one dandelion flower in it's beak. The puffin had a black back, neck and top of its head, white chest and face, and a thick, red and orange triangle shaped beak.

This is one of my favourite photos, a puffed up blue tit in the snow.

Photography in the cold can be a bit challenging, layers and hot tea are essential equipment
A photograph of a blue tit sat in a snow covered bush. The blue tit has a bright yellow chest with a black line down the middle, a white face with a black line across the eyes and neck, and a blue back and top of the head. It is looking to the left, and only it's face is in focus, with the snowy branches causing focus blurr.

Here are my favourite facts from the @gensocuk.bsky.social Medal Talk and Balfour lecture. Of course much more fascinating information was also included!
1) siRNAs cause the triploid block which kills triploid maize progeny, which are bad
2) Alternative approached to getting ancient omics sequencing

It's peak 'yelling outside of my flat' season for foxes in London, and this guy is giving an absolute belter
A photograph of an urban red fox sat on a garden wall at night. The fox is well lit by house security lights, and has a deep orange back and face, white underside, and black legs and ears. It is turned to look to the side of the camera, and has orange eyes

Proper introduction time!

I am a science presenter and science events organiser, general gothy vibes, big fan of birds and bones, and passionate about inclusion in science for historically marginalised groups
