My 9yo daughter is loving this book!

We made pizza (on National Pizza day, unknowingly!) 48 hr slow fermented sourdough base was the best I’ve made so far! Definitely worth the wait!

Baking some #sourdough #baguettes upon kids’ request!

Happy #Lunar New Year to my friends and colleagues who celebrate it!

My wonderful lab totally surprised me today with this! Most are not on Bluesky, but thanks @giuliapaci.bsky.social and all the team, past and present!!

Friday night #sourdough bread baking, ready for the weekend!

Anytime I read about the extracellular matrix, I’m left amazed at its complexity and integral role in so many aspects of brain health and disease! Much more than “brain goop” indeed.

Want to engage with the #mechanobiology community? Why not join this group? Just drop me a DM and I´ll add you. go.bsky.app/G5cQqYT

I’ve spent 25+ years teaching and “ communicating” science. As well as being a schoolteacher, I’ve worked with scientists and science institutions to help them explain their work to the public. This book is the culmination of all that work. Out in paperback Nov. 7th www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1529...

I made a podcast about glues! "Bonkers but Fascinating" are some of things people are not saying about it, but secretly thinking. search.app?link=https%3...
