only a microbiologist can be happy she left home in a rush three weeks ago and did not empty her tea mug @contamclub.bsky.social

This is my happy place and I'm not sure I want to leave ever

Working from Cornwall for a few days ... and I remember why I bought a tablet with which I can read in the sun :)

My romanian knowledge is sketchy at best so didn't realize earlier your name (or even Palade) was romanian, but the writing at the back of the photos did it! I have similar old sepia photos with weirdly similar handwriting from my grandmum ...

I am back at work but my cats are in Cornwall and it's bank holiday for them so they send me updates

When a rapid proof-of-concept try for a new experiment works even better than I hoped .. the amplitude of variations is just right to easily test the effect of a number of things :) I almost don't want to leave for the Christmas break so I can play with these now.

Well I never had near that number of followers on Twitter! I mostly use this for science, with occasional landscapes, short moans about french politics (mostly when I don't find french people around), and photos of my cats because they are objectively the cutest things in the world - proof attached

Took this photo of my new neighbours yesterday night, it felt peaceful and hopeful at the time. Now in a different context it looks kind of ominous and dark.
