1. This is really interesting! 2. It is also a timely addition to the “you really need to understand how much important data is still non-digital” discourse.

Oh please @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social get this dinosaur in the bin.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Sharpening their cudgels?! Who sharpens a cudgel?

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social You do get that it's possible for someone to have started a fire and for that fire (and the result of it) to be much, much worse because of climate change? It doesn't have to be one or the other.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social If we have to improve the screening for PIP, how much does that cost? If tougher rules (rather than improved screening). How many people who actually do need PIP are we prepared to exclude on the basis of catching a few who are swinging the lead?

Anyone who has ever dealt with an estate agent in this country won’t find it hard to believe Rachel Reeves’ version of events. They’re all incompetent shysters.

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.” This Collection recognises the achievements of the Laureates. #chemsky 🧪

Bloody love this. Rory has a great way of putting things upside down.

If it takes an act of parliament to remove Michelle Mone from the House of Lords then let's get on that. The government has a massive majority. Who's voting against removing (in the beautifully appropriate words of Dr Rachel Clarke) the "utterly avaricious greedy scumbag" #PPEScandal #MoneOut

I’m so here for @aspuru.bsky.social dancing and music suggestions #automationforchemistry

I’m a little unsure what to expect.

Is the #postoffice sponsoring #ITVdrama to change the narrative? Like BoJo talking about model buses? I do hope compensation money for subpostmasters hasn’t been spent on sponsorship.

I feel like we missed a trick by not using an Uncle Sam/Lord Kitchener (who is the chemistry equivalent?!) image for this....but either way, read this...it's important. Here's a free-to-read link in case you don't have access rdcu.be/eDGTW

That's just the point though. They're not "all in one place" real football fans are forced to subscribe to multiple different channels to follow their team.

Good way to start the evening. Margarita but with a kick.

The only time in recent history that Washington DC was overtaken by bloodthirsty thugs was January 6th 2021.

I'd call that barely coherent, but it doesn't begin to cover it. I don't particularly like the alternative (Vance) but it's time for the 25th amendment. #makeitstop

I reckon IAEA must be the hardest abbreviation to read out on live news. So many currently including @tomswarbrick.bsky.social trying to do it so carefully and failing miserably."..I, E, A, E..."

Increasing substrate scope is rarely addressed in discussions about the pressure that scientists face. Despite the growing awareness around burnout in research, larger tables are often welcomed, even when the extra work may not be scientifically valuable.

Delighted to be able to officially post news of this conference that I've been involved with organizing (and very much looking forward to attending.

So just to get this straight, the Tories spent 14 years screwing everything up, then having given Labour a little under a year to fix it all, the electorate have decided that it's time to switch to an even more extreme version of the Tories. Yep, that sums it up. #LocalElections2025

The correct plural (pedant alert) of attorney general aside this by @iandunt.bsky.social is fantastic. Especially the line about injecting a clown's eyeballs with crystal meth. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Those who can, do. Those who can’t become politicians.

I clearly just don’t understand. If Thames Water is a failing business why will it cost £100B to buy (nationalise)? Surely it’s only worth a tiny fraction. Remember folks: ‘you may get back less than you invested’.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social is it just possible that the guy with the 'cinnamon sneezes' is sneezing in response to the presence of cinnamon, which others happen to smell at the same time?

Absolutely no way this should be allowed. Let it go bust and tgen nationaluse it for a £1. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Where on earth has @lbc.co.uk managed to dig up such a rich seam of Putin apologists?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Steam (>100°C) is invisible, water vapour (<100°C) isn't. Remove the heat source, the pot cools slightly and you have more water vapour less steam.

Ooh Uk chemists, tonight’s Mastermind on bbc2 now has a specialist round on the naming of chemical elements.

@tomswarbrick.bsky.social If people were being appointed to roles purely on merit, then the makeup of the board would already match local community - that's not opinion, that's just statistics.
