One of the most fun and chaotic things I've ever done! The RI Christmas Lectures inspired me as a child, and it was a huge privilege to be invited to take part this year. My bit is in lecture 2, and starts around 20 mins - https://t.co/jRPml9oubx.
We learned all about how the mitochondria, ✨ the powerhouse of the cell ✨, produce chemical energy. But do we know where they came from?
@Kat_Arney shares a fascinating possibility for their origin.
And of course a huge thank you to the inspirational @DoctorChrisVT who made the whole recording a day of chaotic science joy 🥰 it's a pleasure to work with someone so generous and enthusiastic
Metabolism is a difficult topic to explain even to university students, but I think we did OK thanks to the amazing demo team and all the people working behind the scenes to research, write and produce these incredible shows. Thank you @Ri_Science!
New music! Vinyl! T-shirts! Handmade socks!! In my non-science comms life I'm a musician - my band Sunday Driver UK has opened pre-orders for our new album with some extra special bonuses - check it out: https://t.co/aHo5cNmQD7
@EloScicomm@gomobel Ah brilliant thank you!! It's on our list of essential resources we send out when we get asked about getting into sci-comm, and I was so surprised when I checked the link to find it had gone 😬
@StuartHumphryes we have this old family photo from ?1860s, do you know what type of image it might be? Mum thinks it's a very early photo, but later than a daguerrotype. It looks like it is hand tinted maybe?
Going through old family papers - endless beautifully written letters about buying furniture from catalogues - the 1900s equivalent of Wayfair. If any social historian wants these, let me know ASAP or they're going in the recycling #History
