Cartoon by Tom Gauld Two archeologists stand in a trench near a large dinosaur skull with a human skeleton in its jaws and a time machine. The woman is saying " these fossils would appear to suggest that, while professor Cooper's time machine was a great success, his dinosaur repellant formula was not."

#today I am testing my energy system changes, have a smallish (so far) slate of #NewScientist articles queued up on tabs, am just about to do the next poke at my #buildingModel #research stuff, will be on a NESO Grib Forming Webinar, then this evening off to central London with a friend.

We were excited to welcome New Scientist to the Department of Physics yesterday for an interview with Emeritus Professor Frank Close OBE FRS on particle physics. Stay tuned for the full interview!

#today I am not getting a #NewScientist splurge to read - what happened?

I am cheered in my #research by having just found that an apparent test error in the #buildingModel that I'm working on is apparently an error in the test itself, and the model is meeting expectations better than expected […]

Well this is bad news. I knew about the risks of cooking with methane gas were being underplayed but had no idea that benzene could be leaking nonstop! Time to electrify!

Metabolic homeostasis is nothing new. It’s also very complex. Insinuating that exercise does not universally elicit weight loss is dangerously simplistic. It’s much more complicated than that.
Shame on you. #NewScientist

Dear #NewScientist. Get your ass in motion in adding BlueSky link to your online shareable media. Or else, lose subscribers.

Yes, I mentioned the Beaker people in another post.

So, you could also say “…evidence suggests that they are as effective as traditional antidepressants”

Are humans much older than previously thought? That's not the only potentially revolutionary finding unearthed by an international team of scientists! Watch the video: #evolution #humanorigins #history #archeology #newscientist

#today will be catching up on the #NewScientist* article splurge, tweaking heat pump settings again to try to get DHW to run fully from the Enphase, and #buildingModel stuff.

*Sitting next to 5 of the NS crew at the #CBQuiz last night was fun!

@carbonbrief It was a good one! Achieved about the same ranking as last year. Happy to have scored any points. Was sitting next to the #NewScientist / BusinessGreen / ... team and fan-boyed them a bit!

A miniature magnet rivals behemoths in strength for the first time Strong magnets tend to be large and power-hungry, but a new design has produced a powerful magnet that fits in the palm of your hand, making it more practical and affordable

WOW! An article U can read in FULL! (without registering, paying, providing ID, age verification, downloading an app)!!!
ok, close ur mouth, I've seen flies.

#today caught up up on #NewScientist and some other reading, had a meeting helping someone think about IP (patents, design rights, NDAs, etc), now about to get back into my #buildingModel #research stuff...

Chemistry clues could detect aliens unlike any life on Earth Looking for molecular evidence of life on other worlds is tricky, but a test based on the reactivity of carbon compounds could be a useful indicator

Researchers propose a life-detection method that judges amino acids by their reactivity rather than mere presence, using an energy-gap profile of 64 amino acids to distinguish living from abiotic samples; when applied to over 200 samples, it correctly … #aliens #newscientist #ovni #uap #ufo #ufosky

@Climatehistories New Scientist has a thing where readers write in with examples of nominative determinism where a person’s name matches their jobs description. Altman is trying to make an alt man. Beautiful!

Very first admin bits done, plus read a Nature paper and ~8 #NewScientist articles so far (3 more queued), and the #coldbrew seems to be doing its thing.

Just about to join a 2h seminar, though may just have it on in background as too much else to get on with!

#today there is a little urgent-ish #lifeAdmin to do, at least a little #NewScientist article splurge, and then hopefully the few lines of initial code fixes for my #buildingModel work.

I slept badly, and today is not forecast to be as sunny as yesterday, so some of that may slow me down. I did […]

Frog under a mushroom in a rain storm. Initial Photo credit given to edwin_giesbers in the October 2021 issue of @newscientist

Inspired by a stunning photo in the October 2021 issue of @newscientist.com by edwin_giesbers, I challenged myself to utilize a bold blue-and-orange palette, push the raindrops into something abstract and expressive, and ‘A Rainy Abstract’ the result. #edwin_giesbers #NewScientist #Frogs #Mushrooms

This is too simplistic and the title misleading. Shame on you #NewScientist
