"Owain Beynon has broken more than scientific ground with his chemistry PhD. He is the first person in Cardiff University’s 140-year history to write a dissertation in Welsh—it could even be the first PhD in chemistry ever completed in Welsh, Beynon tells Newscripts."

My latest @cenmag.bsky.social newscripts column is inspired by my friends: Veronica and Allison, whose love for a touchscreen game at a museum inspired this whole column, and Jaclyn, the reason I can't mention the LHC without also mentioning the 2016 weasel incident

Science and fantasy adventures go together pretty well, actually—or at least they do when Skyler Ware runs a D&D one shot!

Fionna Samuels forages fungi for off-planet housing and fancy food for this week's #Newscripts in @cenmag.bsky.social. I tried to convince Fionna to go with Mush-rooms in her headline, but she tells me the tech doesn't use fungal fruiting bodies.

Finally had a chance to read through the redesigned monthly @cenmag.bsky.social and it’s great! Chock full of interesting long form articles plus old favorites like Newscripts. My fave was this one on the Graduate School Readiness Boot Camp. As a first-gen grad schooler: what a great resource!

My afternoons often include coffee and a treat, so in this week's #Newscripts in @cenmag.bsky.social, I wrote about how scientists in Arnold Mathijssen's lab studied pour-over coffee physics and how food scientist Damir Torrico used ChatGPT to evaluate brownie receipes.
