This 👇🏻 is why Keir Starmer will never get my vote - not having the guts or any other bits of anatomy needed to answer a simple “yes” or “no” question! He seems to have revised high school biology in the last few months, but this is cowardly, hypocritical and condescending.

I mark 28 April as #Inspiration Day.
My Dad would have been 84 today. A physical chemist, astronomer, musician, charismatic man that people flocked to, he taught me to keep my feet on the ground & my head full of dreams, inspired me to always be my best-self in everything I do.

Bouillabaisse, my way - traditional preparation ab initio, as chemists might say (from the fish stock to the rouille) with fresh local North East seafood. Hours of work, but great fun! 👩‍🍳🇫🇷

Great selection of Puccini arias and insightful comments, as always, from Aurélie Moreau. I would have ended with “Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore…” - this could have an epitaph for the embodiement of divine talent and human passion that was the beautiful and unique Maria Callas.💫🇬🇷

Very special occasion #ANZACDay and a very beautiful photograph by Liz Liz New. When I see things like this, I think there may be hope yet for this world. 🕊

Great opportunity for a post-doctoral scientist with innovative research ideas and high-quality outputs to join the Department of Chemistry at Durham University on a 5-year research fellowship in materials science.

Schumann’s Paradise and the Peri - it truly is a sublime masterpiece most people have never heard! Why is this not performed everywhere, all the time?
Fantastic perfomance The Glasshouse International Centre for Music today by Royal Northern Sinfonia Dinis Sousa, with outstanding soloists Louise Alder and Adèle Charvet.

It’s #NationalSiblingsDay .

#JKRowling on womanhood.
(This talented woman should be a writer!👇).

Milan Kundera was born #OTD in 1929. He wrote with audacity and multilayered complexity of style, not to satisfy anyone’s personal politics or personal sensibilities, but with profound understanding of human nature, our internal struggles, external battles and ultimate rewards.

Not only fabulous dress design, I also admire the beads production technology. Ancient Egyptians were excellent solid state chemists, able to reproducibly prepare faience of uniform colours, from the prevalent blues and greens to red and yellow hues.

Finished my 3rd yr superconductivity lectures Durham Chemistry with discussion session. Very happy to see that my confidence👇, that my undergrads could sensibly critique chemistry, crystallography and property measurement flaws in last summer’s #LK99 craze, was not misjudged.🎉

Les Valses: Camille Claudel and Chopin.🎶👇

Magnificent Cecilia Bartoli performs the perfect seductive V'adoro pupille, her playful Cleopatra unfazed by Ste Dévote fireworks - “heavenly melody”, as pointed out by Carlo Vistoli’s mighty Caesar. Davide Livermore’s ingenious staging is a true 21st century baroque triumph!🎶💫

Morning, noon and night.
