Asked son for bio, his response: "Large ageing man, nonsensical, easily influenced and open minded, but still quite useful"😂 I should qualify that: Chemistry lecturer, much experience, many interests.

Quite pleased with this one (7th attempt). A 4-connected 3-dimensional network. Specifically a representation of the niobium monoxide structure in paper. Thanks to @alisonmartin57.bsky.social for the inspiration. #chemistry

There's a non-zero chance of the ocean current system that sustains our Goldilocks climate in Europe collapsing and plunging us into a millenia-long Ice Age Every additional 0.01C of warming increases that chance, so why are we *still* increasing emissions? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Fine view up Glen Kinglas at dawn this morning. Stob Coire Creagach summited with my boys, and back for a late breakfast. #Scotland #outdoors

Offspring decided these new boots have "heterochromic laces". I guess this is what happens when your parents are scientists.

I'm always late to the party. Apparently it was #UKFungusDay yesterday. I don't know enough about fungi, but snapped this one at dusk in Argyll last night.

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Local MSP visited the youth club today. Delighted to hear that my daughter spent the evening grilling them on all sorts of issues and policies. I'm going to call that a parental success.

1. I’m sorry to return to this question, but I think it hints at everything that's wrong with our media and public conversations. *When did you last hear a critique of capitalism on the BBC?* A thread/
