Delighted to return to @beamishmuseum.bsky.social with @newcastleuni.bsky.social #Chemistry for our annual weekend of activities - 7th & 8th March: photography, distillation, smells, sugars & cappuccino capacitors plus me delivering Chemistry in Your Shopping Basket in the Pit Village chapel! 👍

Nail polish remover (acetone) unglued my fingers (superglue craft incident) and this is why a science education matters kids 😭 #MedSky

He's back! Max Scherzer sighting in Blue Jays camp today. Official announcement not expected until tomorrow

Skadi says "if I am underfoot and get stepped on, Dad will feel guilty and feed me faster, right?"

Released into the wild! Found him in the bottom of a steep sided recycling container. Not sure if he could jump out but then how did he get in?! #frog

Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity #OTD in 1896, and later shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Pierre and Marie Curie for the discovery. See more chemistry history graphics here: www.compoundchem.com/this-day-in-...#OTD #ChemSky 🧪

Some guys in uniform just sign a baseball when they're asked to sign a baseball. But if a kid asks Aaron Boone to sign a baseball, he gets a whole conversation..: About baseball!

Good morning, Bluesky! Marching into #March🦌🦌🦌🦌

RAF Clifton 80 years ago, this was a thriving WWII airbase, now there's a stub of a runway next to the northern edge of York's ring road - most of the rest is underneath a large 1980s shopping/industrial complex. Today, me and the 13yo went there exploring and metal detecting.

Very few will mourn the loss of Ali Khamenei and his regime. Good riddance. The regime hangs on by a thread. However, it still has support. If the US doesn’t get this right, and it tends not to, the whole area will descend into 10 years of civil war…

Peaceful coexistence 🕊️ #caturday

I’m sure today’s theme will be filled with incredible moon shots…but this one will always be my favorite I’ve ever taken. Right as I pressed the shutter, a bat flew straight through the frame — turning a simple moon photo into a cool moment. #BlueSkyArtShow #Round #BlueSkyPhotography #Night

February is #NationalGrapefruitMonth – did you know that grapefruit and grapefruit juice can affect some medications? This graphic explains why: www.compoundchem.com/2014/03/07/w...#NationalGrapefruitMonth #ChemSky 🧪

Very soon, I am going for surgical treatment for cancer. I wanted to use this opportunity to share my journey and advocate for prostate cancer screening for men. @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social prostatecanceruk.org/about-us/new...

I have created an app to help students learn about emission and absorption spectra. Here is the link. I hope you find it useful 🌟 #iTeachPhysics #Science 🧪 #Astronomy 🔭 sites.google.com/view/hookean...

The Tories must be so relieved that this crank has defected to Reform. As the Conservative Party continues down the road to relative normality, Reform PLC just gets weirder and weirder. Truss is next.

The moon over Fanad. #fanad #donegal #ireland #art #moon

Almost my photo choice today, here are the crocuses I am keeping an eye on, teasing me big time! The promise of things soon to come 🤗 #NotLongNow #365DaysWild #inspiringnature #wildlife #naturephotography #MentalHealthMatters

Cool sky out back just now. Phone camera amps up the brightness, it’s nighttime.

Electrolysis of 0.5M CuCl₂ solution powered by light! NOT A BATTERY. See, the electrolysis is so slow that the litmus is actually red before bleaching. LED banks are in parallel, better than the previous tweet on this topic. #chemsky #chemchat #realtimechem #beyondbenign #iTeachChem #Chemistry

Resident doctors pay has risen by 29% in the past 3 years. Academic pay has not risen by 29% in the past 15 years. On top of which, resident doctors have job security whereas academics have been made redundant in huge numbers. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Newcastle mornings look like pure magic. ✨ Thank you Katie Deacon for sending us these photos of Newcastle's stunning backdrop last week. 😍 #WeAreNCL #NewcastleUponTyne #Newcastle

A timeline of Earth’s average temperature since the last ice age. Spoiler alert: It’s definitely getting warmer. And it’s happening increasingly, scarily fast. xkcd.com/1732/

Try these in a 1-1.5 cm diameter droplet of water on a polypropylene surface. Why do this? A short activity leads to a long discussion on ionic lattices, dissolving (solvation), diffusion, precipitation & spectator ions. #chemsky #chemchat #realtimechem #beyondbenign #iTeachChem #Chemistry

He did Hook too!

A little 🐰🚿 to start the day. Don't forget to wash behind your ears, too! 😊🤭 ~ Snowbelle ❄️ 🥀 🐰 #bunny #rabbit

It has been ages #chemistree @rsc-eic.bsky.social @sfed-rsc.bsky.social @rsc.org

England appear to be sticking with Zac Crawley longer than the Royals stuck with Andrew. 🤔 I wonder if he can bat?

"Our research at Newcastle University was the first to show a direct link between street lighting and local insect declines" A new European research initiative, SAFELUX – The Light We Need, is to transform how we light our roads at night. ⬇ https://bit.ly/49TlB7N #WeAreNCL

They are currently decorating electric boxes and bins around York city centre - we are enjoying spotting all the designs - they turn the totally mundane into little pops of colourful art.

Five years ago today. The (then) 7yo was very wise for his age... "Do you like going to the woods?" "Yeah, I love the woods" "Why do you like the woods?" "Because its sheltered... sheltered from all the noise... and I like it"

In this day and age, why are Nobel Prizes limited to three people? Why not simply reward all people that made significant contributions to the discovery? Science is teamwork!

I was today years old when i learned that in America a 'coffee cake' is actually a cake with a cinnamon crumb designed to be eaten with coffee, not, well, a 'coffee cake', made with (and tasting of) actual coffee.

If you're a cricket fan struggling to make sense of the baseball… tonight's World Series game went to 9 [sic - nine!] Super Overs!

Farage: epic grifter

It isn’t all #Gardenindicators in our lab, we’ve been making our own phenolphthalein’s too. They are different colours and pleasingly, all worked well in an acid/base titration. #Chemsky

Was looking for moss, but found these fun guys! Love this time of year! 💚🔬 #iseemoss
