Spent the last hour helping solve quadratic equations for my son’s maths homework.

I knew my A-level maths would one day come in useful.

And it has.

To do his A-level maths.

A bit like spiralling publication costs we need to start having a proper discussion around lab equipment servicing costs. These are often completely disproportionate to the cost of instrument and the service that is provided and seem to serve as a cash cow for vendors.

Scientists claim to have unlocked β€˜secret sauce’ needed for fine chocolate Results of studying cocoa bean fermentation in Colombia could pave way to manipulate flavour, say researchers

Great to see this paper out www.nature.com/articles/s41... including Chris Moore of the Nottingham DeepSeq team. Chris took @nanoporetech.com Mk1Cs out to Columbia and sequenced chocolate. Coverage www.theguardian.com/science/2025... and institutions.newscientist.com/article/2492....

Real pleasure to be presenting at the @nanoporetech.com #WYMM event in Melbourne Australia today. Great to see the pores work equally well upside down. And at last - socks! Though I still think they should be the long sock… youtu.be/zxI-pcLj9XE?...

Whilst I can’t disagree, I feel this also wouldn’t be specific enough. There have been many many things sad people have obsessed over for 15 years.
