@SpaceX @Space_Station Safe home, I wonder what music they are listening to? Hope David Bowie is on the playlist. Godspeed X

@elonmusk cool…we all need a break now and then… great service from starlink, 3 kids and 2 hard working (scientist) parents. taking a stroll outdoors. inspiring. cheers!

Awesome music video from Patricia Kokett featuring some of my fungi imaging. well done to everyone involved, it was great fun filming!

@adafruit top drawer is my favourite. I have one like this, crammed full of vintage LEDs!

@RickDoblin happy birthday Rick, i’ve been working as
a mycologist for the last 2 + decades and found your research very inspirational. cheers!

@7etsuo the last one

@CodysLab arrays of satellite solar panels, i have seen and recorded in scotland, perhaps we could use them to send Morse code?

[Patrick Hickey Ph.D. @patrickhickey]

@SpaceX @PolarisProgram Godspeed and good luck! ps, HAL, please remember to “open the pod bay doors” when commanded.

[Patrick Hickey Ph.D. @patrickhickey]

@CodysLab look perfect for mushrooms, a thicker block and you’ll need to watch out for thermal overload in the core, as the mycelium heats itself!

@icelandfpv the sound is awesome! stay safe

@mikelectricstuf @digikey the days i have spent searching through RS and digikey! however i do enjoy parts mining for obscure components.

@ChrisGPackham @vizcomic i saw a good meteor streak and a cheeky flare of aurora borealis over edinburgh!

@CodysLab zinc fingers ? (a molecular biologist joke)

@theAliceRoberts So sorry… he was such a clever and talented guy. 10 years ago I worked for a day with Michael, making a documentary about mouldy food, we dined on stale bread and mouldy cheese. RIP MM x

@Cmdr_Hadfield @SpaceX enjoyed listening in, the atmosphere at ground level was electric too! love the science of space flight. godspeed!

[Patrick Hickey Ph.D. @patrickhickey]

@elonmusk well done! enjoyed watching the live feed from my lab in scotland while working on laser microscope: more specifically imaging fungal hyphae at the apex, the fluorescent vesicle cluster at tip resembles a rocket !

@ChrisGPackham @BBCSpringwatch @MeganMcCubbin @michaelastracha @IoloWilliams2 lovely! how about some dung fungi? I can supply the photos .

[Patrick Hickey Ph.D. @patrickhickey]

@neuromichael beautiful work. resembles the mycelium of filamentous fungi!

[Patrick Hickey Ph.D. @patrickhickey]

Interesting when the colour of the contaminant matches your clothing… yet to have a proper look and attempt to identify, possibly a species of Fusarium? (it’s malt extract agar) @ContamClub #microbiome #agar #biology #fungi

@ImperfectFunGuy wow, beautiful images… time lapse?
