Reading about bioinformatics is fun because it's mostly a random tool someone came up with on a train ride, that somehow turns into scientific output if you just ignore your gut and logic?

Taking a couple days to chill after this week and then starting studying for exams and organising hand ins - almost feel like a real student

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Rรณbert Berรฉny. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."

Yes, really.

My bright idea today was jelly-shots. But there made flat to look like an SDS-page gel. No idea if anyone has done this before - but could be fun for a stem - social ๐Ÿค”

You know when you feel like you're doing well in uni, so you're thinking "gee research of some sort could be a fun career" but then you get to third year, feel completely lost and have a lab report due on Thursday thats kicking your ass... so that aspiration has turned into "IF I graduate"

Why we continue to say "subscript and superscript" always confuses me. Superscript sounds so innocent. Domscript? Thatโ€™s more my jam.

Hearing PhD students saying that the only way they got through a lab was by copying other students makes the whole โ€œscienceโ€ thing feel far more doable

So 80% of Reform MPs went to private school before going on to careers in such working class jobs as investment banking. By comparison 100% of Green MPs went to ordinary schools alongside the rest of us. So tell me again. Which party is rooted in real working class values.
