1st half of my final year of undergrad is finally finished with a tricky paper assignment. Quite happy with how it turned out even if I was a bit simplistic in my methods but I followed all the instructions to the letter so hopefully that makes up for it. Only 1 module and my dissertation left...

Wow Istanbul area is really shaking right now. 9 earthquakes in the last 90 minutes. I felt the 6.3 one in Sofia.

First assignment of my final year of undergrad comes back with an 85%. Considering aswell how demanding my job has been in the last couple of months, this is just a huge result for the motivation.

Some parts of Mars really do change a lot between images. Here are 2 CTX images of exactly the same region taken about 7 years apart (Dec 2007 - Jan 2015). Lots of dust devil tracks, and wind streaks. But also, a new impact crater.

Hard to overstate how good starter packs are as an idea. I've managed to find hundreds of cool people to follow that would have taken so much longer (if at all) without them. Thanks to everyone who has created them.

Updated periodic table with origin of elements in the Solar System (for boron and lithium at least)

I feel like this place is starting to finally get more populated but retaining the better atmosphere. I really should start posting here more often and being more active finding people to follow.

Astonishing effort from SpaceX. I have no idea how that was done on the first try and how it looked so effortless.

2nd year ends with 80% in Cell and Molecular biology. Puts me a position where I now only need a 1st in half of 3rd year for a 1st overall which felt unobtainable at the beginning considering working full time in a demanding job and studying alongside it. Delighted the effort is getting results.

I have been off most social media for the majority of this year and whilst in general this has been a good thing for me, I have missed alot of the interactions with the good people. Also I had my first 'academic' call last month with someone I likely wouldn't have known about without twitter.

m honestly not sure there’s a better hit of a dopamine than when you get a great score back on a assignment that you worked really hard on but thought was just not good at all.

After not using a pack of 48 ladyfingers for a Christmas Day Tiramisu I seem to have discovered that they might just be the best dunking biscuit. Basing this mainly on the incredible liquid soaking potential they possess.

🔊Calling all primary school teachers: time to get the kids to paint Neptune pale bluey-green! In 1989 when Voyager2 snapped images of Neptune, they upped the blue filter to enhance features in the atmosphere, leading to a global misconception that Neptune is deep blue. 🧪🔭

Images of Uranus and Neptune. First from Voyager 2: Uranus is a pale blue/green featureless ball and Neptune a gorgeous deep blue with bands of darker blue and a whiter spot in the middle. Below Uranus and Neptune as you would see them in true colour: both pale green-blue and fairly featureless.

Amazing new images of the moon Io have come down from the Juno spacecraft! This one shows the volcanic moon of Jupiter from only 2,800 kilometers away, which is the closest look we’ve gotten of Io since over 20 years ago. Check out all those volcanoes!!!! NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Kevin M. Gill

Io, a moon of Jupiter, at half phase and sunlit from the left. Tall volcanic mountains and lakes of lava dot the surface.

I bought my father-in-law a really good quality fountain pen for Christmas (thank you to my partner for the suggestion) and it’s really made me want to get one for myself and hand write letters like ye olden days.

How times change... When I was in school as a teen a 75 on an assessment just never happened (completely my fault) but now I get a 75 back and it feels like a disaster. (it's not) I know I care infinitely more now than I did then but it's nice to know how much more.

November 19th and I have been to 2 German style Christmas markets. It feels VERY early but also sausages and wine set to the same temperature as the Sun. So who am I to question it.

Not a full success but looked like massive progress from the 1st test flight of Starship. Regardless of the outcome here that is a mighty, mighty impressive machine. An absolutely gorgeous lift off too.

You know it’s been a long couple of days when you spend an hour staring at a simple assignment question which you know is simple and you know how to answer but just can’t. Doesn’t help when studying begins immediately after 10 hours of work but fresh eyes tomorrow hopefully makes it a 10 min solve.

The replies on the other place about the guy in Panama who shot 2 climate protesters for simply being stood in the road are exactly why I scroll here primarily now. I don’t post much yet but those replies like he’s an action hero are completely insane.

I’ve only been on here a day but so far the scrolling is substantially less… doomy than on the other one. It’s still a bit odd starting over from scratch though.
