my sunflower finally bloomed

I don't like meringue enough to use all the egg whites for it, need to find some kind of dependable recipe to use them up
they do make for an easy omelette if you add an extra whole egg into it, but it's not the same as a normal omelette

tried making mango ice cream last night, and it turned out so good! I love sorbets, but something about fruity ice cream is just so much more pleasing to me, think the next one I'll try making is either coconut or pineapple

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

we have some soda bread that needs using as well so might make a small batch of brown bread ice cream too
think I need to start investing in bottles of egg yolks though, the amount of egg white I have left over from the past few days of baking and making is concerning 😅

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

@somethings_awry I make soda bread ice cream here at home and it's honestly divine, that toasted brown sugar-rye bread recipe will be fab 👌

@somethings_awry So curious as to what mermaid trauma could entail

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

And raspberries! Going to make so much good jam with these

The allotment is starting to produce some lovely strawberries

One of my favorite pictures

@daniel_jb66 Ah! Cool, another bird with fabulous white eyeliner

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

@daniel_jb66 is that a guillemot chick?

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

Cat tax
She would love for everyday to be so warm

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

Keir please stop messing with the weather machine I don't think I can take this anymore

[Rory @Rory_Donnellan7]

on the up side, the cats are absolutely thriving in this heat, they're having a blast

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @WHOI, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: https://t.co/yDxWrRjS97

Excited to share our paper now published in GigaScience: “4D single-cell spatial transcriptomics reveals dynamic morphogenetic gradients and regenerative domains in planarians” We study how planarians rebuild body structure after injury. https://t.co/yYUFHJLben

Come check out the art exhibition, titled “Inside Pregnancy: Creative perspectives on Reproductive Biology.”Enjoy a unique visual exploration of reproductive science, blending scientific insight with artistic interpretation 🎨

Important new Nature paper (Alexander Tyshkovskiy, Vadim Gladyshev lab): universal transcriptomic clocks of aging and mortality across mice, rats, macaques and humans, from more than 11,000 transcriptomes. The aging field has long wanted robust multi-species transcriptomic clocks, this seems to fit the bill. I also liked that their chromatin-modification module clock tracks DNA methylation clocks most closely which hints at a transcriptome-epigenome link. https://t.co/oHRf5CA5pc
