I love collecting little anecdotes about small mishaps in labs, especially those which involve biological agents. If you've got any to share, please do send them to me!

@NOWHelpTeam we've had no Internet access since early this morning. Is there any update on when it might be back?

But the @geofftech graph doesn't account for the length of the album so there's a data bias where you could have higher scores for the newer albums. So here's one that's standardised against the length of the album. Same scoring but the colours show the proportion of each album

@geofftech I did your Now experiment. Here's my version of the graph. 1/2

It's that time of year again. You know, the one where the weather is really changeable, the nights draw in, and you've got too much annual leave left so you have to take random days off work before Christmas so you end up going for a stroll around town...

Arrival day! The smell is fantastic. Coffee this time from @maudecoffee and @jbroastery. I'm particulary interested in the *EXTRA SPECIAL SAMPLE*...

@bwiedwards The Andromeda Strain. Always the Andromeda Strain. It might even have been one of the things which hooked me into microbiology and immunology and drove a fascination with pathogens...

It's here! My @stand_made stand has arrived and it's stunning. The quality can't really be conveyed in photos, but it's superb. Thanks Andy!

@asherichia We used to use Pepceuticals a lot when I was at @APHAgovuk. They provided all the peptides for the national bovine TB testing programme.

@HardLinesCoffee I'm stocking up; just had a box delivered with Rwanda Kilimbi, Ecuador Lugmapata, Brazil Bela Vista, Colombia El Carmen, Big Blend, and House Party turn up. I got the Timor-Leste from @Cult_Of_Coffee

[𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 @Biorisk_Chris]

Hey @HardLinesCoffee - can you tell me what varietal(s) are in the Ecuador Lugmapata? It's not on the bag or on the website... https://t.co/b6zjY6nAH2

@_UncommonGround Amazing, thank you!

@JordanJaunt Theres's something weirdly unpleasant about communicable disease which modify host behaviour like these. Very hard not to anthropomorphise them which, I suppose, is why they're good story-fodder!
