@SaifulChemistry @DoctorChrisVT Thank you! Still can't really believe it happened 🤩

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.

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

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 😬

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

@EloScicomm Hello! Do you know what happened to the Hindawi sci-comm guide? Doesn't seem to exist online any more now it's moved to Wiley :(

She was wagging her tail in her sleep last night and I nearly died of cute

Never not going to find it adorable and weird in equal measure watching a dog dream

We found this in our family papers - it's a @stjohnambulance first aid certificate awarded to my great grandfather in 1888!

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

@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?

We know he can swim but…

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

@PaulSuttonKing We're still sorting it all out but yes, delighted for you to have this.

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

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

@andrewpopp6 @PaulSuttonKing We have boxes of receipts for everything a reasonably wealthy household bought for entire years in the 1920s

[Kat Arney @Kat_Arney]

@PaulSuttonKing @andrewpopp6 OK let's try and make this happen.
