Had a stern word with my pond weed (and used a builders inspection lamp) but only got a few bubbles. 🫧

Checking my moss before open morning on Saturday and found this little cutie. 😍
Spotted another one and wondered, do we need a collective noun for tardigrades? Google suggested a 'squiggle'
What do we think @KatLawrence @MossSafari?

[Techie Lady @TechieLady1]

@KatLawrence @AGSBioTechs @dgs_science @ScietechSmith Have been down an Internet rabbit hole.
These are over 1400 lumens apparently and come in all the fittings!
Not cheap, but cheaper than new lamps.

@KatLawrence @AGSBioTechs @dgs_science @ScietechSmith Mine are either E27 (screw in) or BC / B22 (bayonet). I keep them in separate trays to keep track.
That little one could be an E14 which is sometimes used in smaller lamps.
Buying light bulbs nowadays is a daunting exercise, too many choices 😢
Toolstation or B&Q should have them

[Techie Lady @TechieLady1]

@KatLawrence @ScietechSmith @dgs_science @AGSBioTechs I bought one of these to get it going and it seems to do the trick.

In the rooms I have conventional angle poise lamps with the highest lumen bulbs I can get. I got some 806lm bulbs in Sainsbury's. 💡

At @NewTheatreOx for @ProfBrianCox and just bumped into my mate @KatLawrence
It's going to be a great evening!

@KatLawrence You've always been the tardigrade whisperer!

@leysbiotutor Thanks for this. ❤️
I wouldn't have found them otherwise!

@MartinSLewis BSc Biochemistry and Physiology (1984-87)
Yes, it was worthwhile.
I was a Suffolk girl at a polytechnic (remember them?) in Lancashire.
Graduated with a small overdraft and went straight into a job.
If I was doing it now, I'd be trying for the degree apprenticeship route.

@KatLawrence @MossSafari Found this little chap at our open morning, parents were suitably impressed 😁

[Techie Lady @TechieLady1]

@KatLawrence @MossSafari That would be very cool 😍

Thank you @SAPS_News it worked a treat for our STEM club.

..and they're still going! @rocketgardens

[Techie Lady @TechieLady1]

My first flower from the 100 wildflower plugs delivered from @rocketgardens only a month ago! 🌱
Fantastic service and I'm delighted by how well they've grown. 😀

Techie day is Friday 9th

[Techie Lady @TechieLady1]

@KatLawrence Wouldn't say no!
Couldn't be harder to get there than last time 😆
