The internal angle of a pentagon is 108 degrees. The angle from my truncated tetrahedra is 109.5. This shoddy looking dodecahedral cluster might be a good example of cumulative errors, not just poor PVA-skills! 🧪

Try saying this next time you talk to a colleague, any gender: “You are sharp, rigorous, and your ideas changed how I think.” We’re in science for the ideas, not to be called “very organised” or “inspiring.” Compliment the mind.

Grandma Moses’ 1943 “Sugaring Off” is a busy scene set in a snow-blanketed valley with lush green mountains in the background.  It depicts the stages of maple sugar production. A woman bends over a boiling cauldron of sap as children watch. A man with an ox-sled loads and feeds logs into the bright orange fire. Neighbors bustle around, going about chores as the work continues.

Do something! Just do. An experiment, a figure, a paper, a book. Create and express yourself, have fun! We are just time in between oblivion. Oh, and if you can make it happen and it useful to others. This is next level happiness 😀 Enjoy ☺️ Primum non nocere! First do no harm

Feeling really tired and short of breath? It could be more than just a busy week. Pneumonia doesn’t always show up with a cough or fever. ⚠️ Don’t ignore the signs — book a GP appointment if something feels off. Early treatment matters. #PneumoniaAwareness #HealthTips

Bluesky isn’t about popularity, it’s about getting a half dozen likes on an esoteric post about the carbon opportunity cost of agricultural land use, and one mercy like on a cringe climate-themed lyrical rewrite of a song popular among 35-49 year olds

Happy Birthday, Robert Bunsen! 🎂 He's best known for the eponymous Bunsen burner, which was actually constructed for Bunsen by instrument maker Peter Desaga. It was essential to the discovery of caesium and rubidium through their emission spectra. www.compoundchem.com/2023/03/31/b... #ChemSky 🧪

Publishing isn’t just about output—it’s about visibility, feedback, and progress. Losing access to quality journals accelerates the dismantling of Higher Education.
