As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Do you think FIFA will revoke his peace prize

For once, it's sunny up in Scotland!

Scotland vs Canada in the men's curling final. My family is torn apart! It would be more exciting if w cared about this sport... 😂

Just reading about the #TrumpTantrumTariff. He does know that it's Americans who pay these tariffs, right??

America: "Do what we want or we'll keep punching ourselves in the balls".

World: "Um, sure... You okay, buddy?"

Putin’s megaphone: Orbán’s far-right push into UK universities is fuelled by Russian oil Good Law Project has uncovered a network funded by Hungary’s authoritarian leader Viktor Orbán, that uses profits from refining Russian oil to platform far right and anti-trans campaigners in the UK

Scarlet elf cups are up. Anyone tried these? Are they tasty?

'yeah right like rohan's ever gonna call for- OH SHIT'

'oh yeah this baby's doing the numbers'

rting something popular and getting tons of notifications about people rting your rt must feel like being the guy in the arse-end of rohan whose job it is to sit around waiting to light the beacon

Anyone else getting random emails to become "an official nominator" for the VinFutures prize? Every year I get a spate of emails from these people. Google suggests it's a real thing, but rings alarm bells for some reason. Anyone heard of this thing?

Enjoy! When I travel for work, I love a solo restaurant dinner and then taking my book to a pub. I tend to look more scruffy though 😂

Another dud Tory MP scurries off to Reform. These people declaring that Britain is broken are the very people who were ministers in the government that broke it! These chancers are utterly shameless. I guess this means they're joining the correct party...

Vibrant color portrait of Jane S. Richardson, the visionary biophysicist and artist who revolutionized structural biology with her invention of ribbon diagrams. She gazes warmly at the camera with a bright, knowing smile that radiates quiet brilliance and decades of curiosity. Her silver-blonde hair woven with gentle waves. Large, elegant dangling earrings catch the light, and she wears a richly patterned brown blouse embroidered with intricate turquoise paisley motifs and delicate beadwork that echoes the molecular elegance she has spent her life depicting. Behind her floats a luminous, dreamlike backdrop of glowing molecular structures--interlocking hexagonal and ribbon-like forms in electric blues, teals, and greens--blending science and art in a single, living canvas.

Hand-drawn and hand-colored (by Jane Richardson) scientific artwork known as a Richardson ribbon diagram (or “ribbon model”), one of the iconic visual inventions of Jane Richardson that transformed the way we see and understand protein structures. A graceful, three-dimensional tangle of protein backbone ribbons twists and spirals through space, rendered in soft pencil lines and luminous watercolor hues. Smooth golden-brown coils represent α-helices that curl like elegant ribbons, while broad teal-green arrows trace the flat, pleated strands of β-sheets slicing through the molecule with directional purpose. Thin, looping golden threads connect the secondary structures, creating a delicate, almost dance-like choreography of biology’s hidden architecture. The entire form is framed by a simple olive-green mat and dark border, giving the drawing the quiet dignity of both fine art and precise scientific illustration—a timeless bridge between molecular reality and human imagination.

Jane Richardson was born #OTD in 1941

+ Developed the Richardson (ribbon) diagram to represent proteins' 3D structure (becoming a standard representation for protein structures)
+ MacArthur Fellow, 1985
+ Elected, Nat'l Academy of Sciences, 1991
+ President, Biophysical Society, 2012

Even iconic British brands are not UK-owned and are draining wealth to other countries. Jaguar Land Rover, BT & EE, Costa, water companies, Royal Mail, Sarsons, Aston Marton, Bentley ...

It's a long list.

The best laid plans o mice and men gang aft agely 🤷‍♂️

Well played. I'm stop now as I'm just mashing out bad puns on my phone...

True, I don't want to over-egg the pudding.

It would have taken guts to keep going.

I stopped as I didn't have the heart to keep going.

As I prepare haggis for tonight's dinner, my wife is bracing herself for some offal jokes...

Taking my son to see Shooglenifty on Thursday. I've wanted to see these guys play for like 25 years now and this will be my first time...

Yep! It was a fun day. I look fondly on the 4.5 years we spent living in the US, but I'm utterly horrifed to see what is being done to our former workplaces. I was at the NIH Bethesda Campus and my wife was on the Mall in the Smithsonian... sad times now. 😢
