This is probably my last post on "Twitter", but it's a really positive one:

This is a cracking episode from the intrepid and super smart @gregfoot. I'm in it too, but dont let that put you off.
What do you use to clean up after your dog?
With an estimated 11 million dogs in the UK, pet owners like Nicola and Craig are after the most eco-friendly poo bags. But what do the experts have to say? To find out, listen to Sliced Bread now on @BBCSounds bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001n8…

Curve-Fitting. If you ever worked with a quantitative dataset in academia or in the world of business you might feel personally attacked. I for one sure like clicking "smooth lines" in Excel 😬 Source: buff.ly/3OtTgKv

Another gnocchi dish with a local twist: fried up with haggis (veggie) and kale. Plenty of black pepper and a wee pinch of chilli too.

Some cool audio nuggets in this pod: insects using leaves as a musical instrument, and the water boatman being the loudest per size, making noise with an usual body part. podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR…

An emotive topic! Never mind the jam or cream first (either is fine by me :-p) I think this is the original source with the full map: bigthink.com/strange-maps/th…
I know that some folk say scone to rhyme with gone, and others to rhyme with cone… but this is the first time I’ve seen UK & Ireland distribution of those variants. I now want to know if there’s a link between Presbyterianism and saying the gone version of scone

Always wanted to do this as a time-lapse! The biggest challenge is keeping little fingers off the bun until it's melted :-)

The devil makes work for idle hands! KitKat upgraded using up the end of a jar of peanut butter 😂 #RainyBankHoliday

Meanwhile while we're distracted by the coronation, this Q&A with "Godfather of AI", Geoff Hinton at MIT is sobering. Not alarmist, but pretty daunting. A good time to reflect on our relationship with machine intelligences. podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR…

Interesting happiness lab @lauriesantos episode today featuring @gretchenrubin. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Her book Life in Five Senses includes a thought-provoking hierarchy of senses from remote -sight/sound- to the most intimate: touch. gretchenrubin.com/books/life…

This has relevance to texture in foods & drinks I think where texture can provoke strong responses in addition to smell and taste @iddsi_org. Also strong links to memory which I think could be very important in stimulating appetite.

Well done all. A Classic UCL Engineering project: clever, successful and with impact. Thanks also to UK Gov't for funding this hub via @EPSRC and @UKRI_News
Great work from Prof Paola Letteri and @And_Paulillo from the UCL PLastic Waste Innovation Hub - designing out plastic waste from remembrance poppies: theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Just catching up on Saving Our Wild Isles. So nice to see our local heros, Belted Galloway cattle, helping support biodiversity and generally being lovely! bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0fd45w…

@TheEthicalDairy was forefront of my mind during Attenborough's final #WildIsles episode. Their Dairy Story book is excellent, informative and deeply moving (can't un-think it: "moo-ving"! Augh! Sorry!).
David & Wilma are heading south to @LondonBookFair today, courtesy of @SelfiesAwards
This time last year the book wasn't even at a full first draft stage! So it's amazing to see A Dairy Story being shortlisted for this award.
