Azi Raphael @moonglaive90.bsky.social · 25/08/2026They wanted photos of biophysics students working in the lab. They wouldn't let me wear my mask. We work with pathogenic bacteria (and this was during the height of CV-19). XD 100

Astronomer Royal for Scotland | Catherine Heymans @astroroyalscot.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Huge huge thanks to @markgbeckett.bsky.social and all the ACF EPCC team for hosting me. We also had the best bike ride along the Roslin bike path to get there - gorgeous morning, birds singing. Only got slightly lost on the way home 😂 0271

Blackdog the Sea Cat @blackdogtheseacat.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Do you remember open reel tape drives on the original star ship Enterprise? Some symbols take a while to stop representing things to the public. 110
