Two polaroid style photos - one of a holly blue butterfly, the other of a yellow brimstone butterfly
Watching butterflies slows time - so why not take a break and notice their beauty 🦋
You can also let us know when you’ve seen a butterfly on the #SignsOfSpring survey: www.field-studies-council.org/signs-of-spr...

David Aragão (@aragaod.bsky.social), ITQB NOVA alumnus, has been elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology (@rsb.org.uk).
🗣️ "ITQB NOVA gave me the rigour and scientific mindset that allowed me to evolve towards instrumentation science on a global scale."
Congrats!

Thirty-one years ago today the original APS saw its first light. From one beam in 1995, the APS has grown into one of the world's premier X-ray light sources. We're grateful for the support of the APS users for all of these years, and we look forward to the discoveries that are still to come.

@graeme-winter.bsky.social does this bring any memories? ☺️
An absolute blast from the past at the LOAD ZX Spectrum Museum in #Cantanhede! A must-see for 80s computing fans. They even repair old Spectrums and are looking for new models for their display! Info: loadzx.com/en/ #zxspectrum #loadmuseum #portugal #spectrum #1980s #oldcomputers #retrogaming

Dublin, you were once mine, and I've never forgotten. Just a fleeting hello from the clouds today, but I promise to return. Always, a little bit yours. #dublin

In a recent speech on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, I spoke about the crucial role local councillors played in improving plans for over 4,000 homes at Valley Park in Didcot — securing better healthcare provision and active travel links.
This is exactly why local voices matter.
Cracking start to the day! After the daily 45 min beamline tango, our fastest 500Hz test run with whisper-thin transmission (1.5 MGy) and tight 20µm vertical beam just spat out ISa~40 and inner shell Rmeas of 2.7%. Fingers crossed the samples play nice too! 🙏 #MX #Crystallography #Science"

George #Sheldrick (1942-2025) took the natural sciences courses in maths, physics and chemistry. He specialized in the latter, attracted by #structuralchemistry and the cutting-edge methods being developed in #Cambridge. @crystallography.org.uk #crystallography

This is truly wonderful... The gems of science history, ethical and intellectual depths surrounding the incredible character of Kathleen Lonsdale, so beautifully condensed in just above 10'. Absolutely worth watching for anyone, and a must if her name sounds new to any chemist. #womeninScience

Happy National Protein Day! Even though I've been a protein crystallographer for ~5 years now, it never ceases to blow my mind that these intricate little molecular machines can form beautiful crystals that are useful for #structure determination!
1/5: It was a privilege to speak in the #Ukraine debate to mark the 3rd Anniversary of the invasion by Russia. Here I highlight the generosity of those in the Didcot and Wantage constituency who have welcomed refugees...
