it's ya girl, being a pain in the baby sleep lecture asking for evidence and literature

My baby has pre-ordered me a Switch 2 for Mother's Day, which is so sweet and generous of her.

Hey what's been happening bsky? I had a baby and she's perfect in every way and I'm hoping that baby vomit is good for your skin because I'm soaked in it 👍❤️‍🔥

Hey! Join this starter pack go.bsky.app/Cpx2Ppu To join and connect with the crystallography at Bluesky community.

Much excitement today with the very first users *ever* on MX3. Pretty amazing that in a few short years the old dewar handling area has turned into a fully functioning beamline! So keen for all the science to come! 👩‍🔬🧪💎 #ozchem

Fun thing about exclusively wearing giant floofy circus tent dresses to work for years is that you can spend your last day before parental leave surprising people with the fact you're pregnant.

Minimal aesthetic and lowercase track and 'album' names = insta-block from me. They're all AI sludge. I want lofi sludge made by 20 year olds discovering looping tools for the first time.

The most exciting times in science are when you see some results and make the Big Confused face.

The Gelada is a monkey with a tawny, brown shaggy coat- with males flaunting anespecially impressive mantle, intensely herbivorous, these primates spend their days hard at work in the grass mines using nimble fingers to select the best grass blades for eating. (Hiller 2000) #2025MMM

This is my entire life

Since @stephanieaw.bsky.social left the lab to start her group at Vanderbilt, we've been talking regularly on the ups and downs of academic science. We started recording... The Tortured Proteins Department open.spotify.com/show/10PHVou... (science with a small dose of running and Taylor Swift)

Mo The Plesiosaur (Ponteix): In 1992, Bob St. Cyr found the fossils of a plesiosaur that lived 70 million years ago. To celebrate the discovery, Mo was constructed and welcomes people to the community. Mo is 11.5 metres long.

Australian election season is coming - it's time to know how your MP voted. Either enter their name (if you know who your member is) or your postcode and you will be able to see their voting record to see how your MP votes on issues that matter to you. theyvoteforyou.org.au #auspol

Well I've found a local company that prints really good quality custom stickers which is very worrying for my bank balance

I would hop in the goo

Harry, of course I'll let you kick the football! The football's Union made! What's the point of a football that doesn't get kicked? I wouldn't want to waste valuable Union resources on a useless football! Why would I pull it away at the last second? I'm a busy man, Harry!

"What soothing techniques will you use during labour, do you think?" Well I am always deeply calmed by longform video essays about academic fraud so probably audio from those...

Scavenger's Reign scoffs at 'world building' and dives straight into 'ecology building' instead and it rules.

Points for trying to the chef on Great British Menu who wanted to honour Dorothy Hodgkins for her work with 'X-rays' by making a pre-dessert shaped like a bone.

Charles Brooks' photos of the insides of musical instruments are phenomenal. I sent them to my sister-in-law who is a violinist, and she showed me a pic she took inside her own violin, which didn't really have the same majesty. It was a blurry void with dust bunnies.

The path of an electron moving close to the speed of light in the main ring of the Australian Synchrotron captured by international [email protected] Accelerator physicist Eugene Tan converted radio waves into the sounds of synchrotron light www.ansto.gov.au/news/photogr...

Explore how our extraordinary “light bulb” 💡 provides incredible clarity, revealing the molecular and atomic structure of a wide range of materials as highlighted in @cosmosmag.bsky.social cosmosmagazine.com/news/aust-sy...

Happy National Protein Day! Even though I've been a protein crystallographer for ~5 years now, it never ceases to blow my mind that these intricate little molecular machines can form beautiful crystals that are useful for #structure determination!

I'm now down from 3 rings on my fingers to just 1. The largest one. #blimplife

My colleague keeps publishing important papers in Science, the jerk. www.ansto.gov.au/news/researc...

I'm not a huge celebrity follower, but this man, here. Look at how hot and cool he is.

Really entering my 'waddling' era.

Laser calibration not working... Hmm laser seems less lasery than normal... I resisted the urge to peer directly up underneath and into the laser because I really subscribe to the @funranium.bsky.social school of not being an idiot around lasers.

using a spatula to keep the lid from squishing my eggs and experiencing a core memory

Me at the start of every Reacher episode: "How will Reacher get out of this pickle?" Me at the end of every Reacher episode: "How will Reacher get out of THIS pickle??"

I zoned out in a meeting and when I came to, I had apparently placed a decent sized order with a local fidget cube dealer.

Movies you've watched more than six times, gifs only

🙏

I think Amazon's Reacher TV series could heal the USA.

@pierrenovellie.bsky.social RE latest BudPod ep: Marsupilami made it to Australia too! Further evidence that they only managed to market it to audiences who had a decent chance of wandering into a jungle on any given day.

Post a meme made by you

tfw you realise you're probably going to birth your child while listening to 2 Hours Chill Shrimp to Work/Study/Relax

Ooh very cool tale, plus I have one of those green-edge copies of Wicked!

Today is my birthday and if you want to give me a gift, please repost my art 😊 #sciart

I can’t stress how dangerous 20+ years of teaching men STEM without Humanities has been for all of us

Alright somebody argue with me about this: I don't understand the appeal of Richard Osman's House of Games.

Guys I just manifested a can of coke

I've seen a few physios in my time, and they give you exercises or some sports massage and then you have to commit to a few weeks of work to recover whatever ailment was affecting you and that's totally fine. But I saw one yesterday who prodded me in some tendons and my pain was instantly gone. :O

Do I want a monthly chain maille subscription box?

I’m not sure if that was the explicit justification, but I remember learning that the CSIRO used to fire female scientists for getting married. Some got married in secret. Some took their own lives.

Kendrick's half time show open in one window and the robot failing to calibrate in the other window

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

I won some socks from them last year.
