The Doctor

A work in progress knit showing vibrant neon colors on a gray background in a science motif. At the bottom are brains, followed by flasks with a neon green liquid and at the top a bright yellow ruler with black markings.

Working on a new cowl using the Science Doodle Deck and our new coordinating Science Lab mini set with a gray base tonal. I’m in love with the little brains!!

Sun is shining on a creosote bush with yellow flowers and fuzzy white seed pods. The mountains and saguaro cactus are in the background.

Oh, heyyyy creosote! This beautiful bush caught my eye as it was embraced by the morning sun.

Is that Benicio del Toro?

These samosas are transcendent, Crowley!
And the chaat... ooh, this is sublime. The tamarind drizzle!
This is wonderful.

And thank you for turning round and driving all the way back home because I forgot my mobile device.
I love you more than I love this tandoori roti.

Who did it better?

A historical oil painting portrait of Mary Anning (1799–1847), the pioneering British fossil hunter, paleontologist, and self-taught scientist from Lyme Regis, Dorset, England. Painted by B. J. Donne in the 19th century (posthumous or based on contemporary sketches), it depicts her standing outdoors on a rocky coastal shore under a dramatic, stormy sky with dark clouds and a glimpse of the sea and distant cliffs in the background. She wears a long, dark green cloak with a hood, a red neck scarf, and a wide-brimmed bonnet tied under her chin. In her gloved right hand she holds a geological hammer (her iconic tool), and a small wicker basket hangs from her left arm, likely for carrying fossils. A loyal black-and-white dog (possibly her famous companion Tray) lies curled at her feet on the rocks. Mary Anning stands with a calm, resolute expression, gazing slightly upward and to the side, conveying quiet determination and intelligence. The painting's muted tones and romantic style emphasize her as a lone figure in a rugged, fossil-rich landscape, symbolizing her groundbreaking contributions to early paleontology despite societal barriers as a working-class woman.

Fossil collector & self-taught paleontologist Mary Anning's discoveries revolutionized our understanding of prehistoric life.

"The greatest fossilist the world ever knew," she made her finds in the Jurassic marine fossil beds along the cliffs of Lyme Regis (UK). She died #OTD in 1847. #WomenInSTEM

Congress?

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

That is brilliant!

when I was a lowly labrat/fieldmouse, we used colchicine to produce doubled haploids.
It's a plant breeding technique that shaved many (like...20 or more) generations of selections off from initial cross to homozygous, true breeding cultivar.

Fun fact: there's an episode of Quincy MD about it

We don't have bluejays here. We have Stellars and Scrub-Jays. Both are new to me, too.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!

The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman

What is Down With The Sickness?

I was told that Iran already surrendered and that this isn't a war.

That would infuriate me.

This one came up on its own.

I understand. Relationships are often difficult and strained. Some are non-existent.
