Today I picked (and ate) mulberries and it looked like I had murdered something and eaten it raw.
I am getting nervous for my trip to be an Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. But I am preparing to be a #MicrobialEvangelist there! I am bringing stickers and buttons to hand out…1/2
Elsevier, but - and this is important - they're not a publisher. They are, in their own words, "a global leader in advanced information and decision support for science and healthcare".
This reminds me of a book publisher logo - anyone any ideas??

I've just watched a swan go "bottoms up" but too quickly and it tipped over and waved its legs wildly and I am sorry but it amused me greatly.
Boaty McBoatface has returned from its first expedition under glacial mélange! Our friends at @noc.ac.uk sent the UK's favourite submarine on a 23hr mission from the RRS Sir David Attenborough. This data will help show how Greenland's glaciers interact with the fjords and oceans.
Oops. Just got on another rollercoaster ... next breath is September ...
Pet cats are essential for survival. The dinosaurs didn’t have pet cats, and see what happened to them.
Ya know, I really should have added some tags to this so that it ends up in the #AotearoaCraft feed...
The Sewphist@thesewphist.bsky.social · 2w agoI signed up to do a piece for a local art exhibition and I was getting very stressed out because I thought I had to drop my work off today... and I haven't started it yet because life is like that sometimes.
