@blackwoolsays I think I need an enormous rabbit in my life right now.

Hi! We're a married #heavyrock duo of @PhDancersTeapot & @ScepticalRabbit born in #Adelaide South Australia but currently making DIY tunes from a tiny flat in #Southampton UK. Listen at https://t.co/EGWUQsfzrn Variously described as #alternativerock #alternativemetal & #numetal.

At least I can say, I wrote the words to this. When times are tough, remember we humans made most of it up - the universe is bigger than our human worries.

Not much progress on new music this weekend but we played our first gig in Southampton and it was awesome 🎸!

Spent my weekend failing at writing vocal melodies for @FeathersWnS. Hopefully, everyone else had a more relaxing time.

Oh my goodness friends, we are suddenly only 11 followers from 200! We know that doesn't sound much to those of you with 'Ks' but it's big for us! Will you help us get those last 11 by re-tweeting this to more indie music lovers? ❤❤❤ We appreciate you talking to us so much! 😁

Spent my weekend recording some bass! What did everyone else get up to?

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

I used to think, once I get my PhD, a postdoc, a faculty position, an R01, tenure..etc, my scientific life will be made. In reality, it is none of these things, but learning from experience, pursuing new curiosity, and working with amazing trainees that fulfills academic life.

This week @ScepticalRabbit has been running explicit dynamics simulations in LS-DYNA. This is an edge-on impact test of a steel projectile hitting a tungsten carbide test sample at 45m/s. #research #science #engineering #mechanicalengineering

Sarah is starting to learn the bass to Erraticism in this live clip from our rehearsal. Singing and playing don't mix yet, but we're practising! #FWnS #music #live #indiemusic #independentartist #rockmusic #indierock
