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

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

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

Just popped into the Royal Institution for a coffee, to discover they have a lovely display on benzene to mark the bicentenary of Faraday's discovery of it. Here are his notes, his paper, and one of his first samples. Glorious.

Look, you can't expect Anorim to be able to beat Grimsby Town without the right players to fit in a 3-4-3.

Just seen the Man Utd score.

And that's how you know you're part of the family. Our cat Muffin lead us into the forest like that one day, but alas it was just to show off a rotisserie chicken she stole from an elderly lady down the road. You definitely win.

Good opportunity for experimental television here in which we only see shots of food mysteriously cooking itself as all the people are edited out.

I found a sleepy Barn Owl this morning in...a barn. #owls #birds #nature

Tory spokesman on #r4today says disabled people with 'mild mental health conditions' like ADHD and anxiety should not be able to claim benefits. Those conditions are a spectrum going from mildly disabling to utterly debilitating. Can we please discuss them with some level of nuance/understanding?

After the sad death of my much-loved Japanese kitchen knife, I am really happy with my new 'Santoku Knife' from Katto - Japanese steel, sustainable wood, hand-made in Sheffield. It's the perfect size for me as an all-rounder kitchen knife and it cuts amazingly well. katto.shop/collections/...

Happy Independence Day to the USA. It would appear Congress has just passed a bill that will send your country permanently bankrupt while simultaneously spending less on those who need it the most. There is no state in the United States - just some very, very rich people.
