Everything is a zoonosis! Drawing/listing challenge. #50- Mouse Technically I drew a Mus musculus, but it was difficult to disentangle rodent vs house mice hence this list 😅 I kept thinking about the Ratatouille short “Your Friend The Rat” w this one 🤣 #IDSky www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Are you making games for education? This is a great talk! Actually @empiricgame.bsky.social has several great talks on the MedEd GAMER channel. Also, you should consider joining us in GANGLIA, a year long program in game and curriculum development (neurdgames.com/ganglia).

It's the autumn equinox in the northern hemisphere 🍂 Here's the chemistry behind the foliage colour changes we'll be seeing over the coming months: www.compoundchem.com/2014/09/11/a... #ChemSky 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.

Did you know the wasabi in most sushi restaurants isn't wasabi? Or that a chemical synergy between dried seaweed and raw fish enhances sushi's savoury flavours? Learn more about sushi science with this infographic, as requested by my sushi-mad seven-year-old 🍣 wp.me/s4aPLT-sushi #ChemSky 🧪

This infographic titled "Sushi chemistry: nori, wasabi and sticky rice" explores the science behind sushi. It features three main panels with illustrations, chemical structures, and explanations. The left section explains how amylopectin in rice creates stickiness and how acetic acid from vinegar aids gelatinisation. The middle panel covers umami flavours from glutamate, inosinate, and guanylate found in nori and raw fish, displaying their molecular structures. The right panel discusses allyl isothiocyanate in wasabi and horseradish, along with gingerol and shogaol compounds in pickled ginger (gari). Photos of six different sushi rolls line the bottom.

I was born a woman in late 18th Century Paris. I lost my mother at 6, married at 31, had 2 children, and died at 61 of cardiovascular disease with 2 surviving children and 2 grandchildren. Overall pretty good life I guess? :)

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery.
