@nottsarchivist @chrisdenning42 I missed them when driving by! Where are they?!

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@spendals hi there, are you doing more of your Herbert clunkerdunk series? We all love it, including my 7 and 5 year olds. It's a shame you dont seem to do shows so far north as nottingham!

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo it's a sugar frame encased in gel. It's one structure about 4x4x8 cm

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo yes as in the recent pic I sent

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo did you see my pic of a cube of sugar embedded in a gel?

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo to make edible delights! Rather than human tissue!

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo we can do thicker vessels very easy in an aspic. This is a sugar 3d cube set in agarose.

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo for your stuff I think thicker strands of sugar would be better than floss or included with floss set in a gel.

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo this was a first play. I want to cost the sugar vessels with gel rather than have it embedded in a slab of gel.

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo we have a few nikons and leicas

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo the aspic is the bottom left and bottom right. I didn't take a normal one of it just a micrograph

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo top left is my recipe floss sheet. right is a thicker piece. Bottom left is set in alginate. Right with cells

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo normal sucrose on left. My recipe on the right

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo floss was perfect. Aspic semi worked just need a few mods

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo ok I will make sure I get bk to you. Thanks for our discussion. Really helpful

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo yes sorry I see you are a scientist. That's where all this conversation becomes interesting, thinking outside the box

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo let's hope it's not just magic. The only problem I see is the flossing not working. Though you think it will so I will have a go!

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo all this is to create an environment to create tissue, all biological. It does sound interesting from the food angle too

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo there's a little twist which underpins my entire strategy to get this working. I will show you it when I've demonstrated with floss

[James Dixon @JamesEdDixon]

@Giapo that's the clever bit. The bit that stops it dissolving straight away when touching the wet gel. But allowing it to melt after.
