Auguste Herbin ~ La Place Maubert, 1907

a spectacular crescent of golden-brown wrinkles is laying atop a soft, lime green blanket. each of the precious rolls from one end to the other no doubt came from an elaborate and precise lamination process and not just a casual plop. some might see what they believe is a shar pei puppy, but that can’t be it.

We only rate dogs. This is a very cuddly croissant. We understand the confusion between puppies and pastries, but please only send dogs. Thank you... 12/10

A special #Caturday this week: today is the 14th anniversary of my arrival on Downing Street.

Title, authors’ names, and first paragraph of an editorial in Science about science communication

In today’s tense political environment for science globally, researchers & journals “will be called upon to defend scientific consensus on matters…considered closed for decades.” The alternative to silence “can be far worse” say @holdenthorp.bsky.social & Phelan @science.org. doi.org/10.1126/scie...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Thank you to the 160 Bath staff members who brought their experience, insights and ideas to help shape the delivery of our first Research Culture Action Plan in last week's session.

Chilled to the bone. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Paid a visit to where it all began for me as a fresh faced graduate. Sad to see so many iconic entertainment HQs in Soho boarded up or vacant, particularly 20th Century Fox and the BBFC Offices. 😥

Fantastic to see this investment following the report from President of the @britishacademy.bsky.social Julia Black on the role of R&D in supporting this vital part of the economy
