Tonight's @chesterscibar.bsky.social is on protein analysis for animal forensics. Tiny amounts can reveal a huge amount about animal remains from all sorts of sources and ages. Even when DNA is no longer present.

People of @shitchester.bsky.social, come along to Storyhouse next week to hear about how protein fingerprinting can give us vital information even when we can't get a DNA sample. Mislabelled food🔎🐟, wildlife crime 🐾... the applications are endless. Join us for a drink, a chat and a fascinating talk🍻

Thank you to sex educator Rachel for talking about the ins and outs of human sexuality at February’s scibar at @storyhouselive.bsky.social #chester #scibar

Tonight's @chesterscibar.bsky.social is from our #quimfluencer and sex educator Rachel Widdershins delivering the sex education talk you should have had at school.

Super talk from Rachel @chesterscibar.bsky.social. Dead informative. Engaging and funny. I’ve never seen cute cuddly STIs before. Glad I braved the elements to cycle up. Sorry to all offended by humidity increase caused by me sitting drying. Hard to predict how wet I could get in a 5min ride.

Whatever you do, don't miss this tomorrow. Last time Rach talked we were packed. I guarantee you will learn a lot in a safe space all ready for Valentine's day. It is a privilege to host this one.
