Asking out of curiosity: how do you know if the authors of a paper are non-native English speakers/writers?

I suspect, ‘talent’ should also imply common sense and interpersonal skills. Easy to spot when lacking, difficult to cultivate through training.

I feel you would really enjoy Maldive fish - in curries, not to be confused with pizza toppings.

I love @ijayas.bsky.social…but someone, please cancel her 😤

This is where my brain is at too.

My department has an bi-annual international cuisines event where colleagues bring (or make) foods from different cultures. I’m going to put in my request for one of these for the next one. 🤩

😅 I was genuinely curious when I posted this, but SO many variations of it now have convinced me that it can be a thing. I sense it’s relatively inoffensive compared to 🍍 or anchovies on pizza.

Rosemary seasoning- YES!! This looks so neat!!

That sounds amazing! Why is this so controversial?

Wow! This looks amazing 🤤

We already have some Italians endorse spuds on pizza here. 😇

You are straying into the territory of crisps on pizza. 😪

So, important follow-up question: can gravy join that list of toppings?

A low carb pizza 🤡?

Hmm… hamburger is perhaps mixing too much of genres. 🤔🤔

That makes sense! Of course, we are not talking about jacket potato pizzas 😅

🤤

Really important question. How do we feel about spuds on pizza? CC. @seismatters.bsky.social @adsquires.bsky.social

#AskingForMe

This year I found out that the International Women's Day .com website which says things like

"IWD Event Managers are encouraged to invite nonprofit speakers and guests, exhibit nonprofit displays, distribute nonprofit resources, and establish ongoing giving."

Is run by a for-profit private org

This is really sickening.

We mostly image fixed samples. So, DAPI.

“Is your gel expanding isotropically”

That’s a lovely way to remember her. I first got hooked on to running as a PhD student participating in a colleague’s husband’s memorial run. It felt like a really special way honour his memory.

I know this will be a long time to watch the Reform & Labour MPs whinge and not face the music. I hang on to the one hope that there will be a Greens govt for the UK in 2029. 🤞🤞

Support services for the LGBTQIA+ community in Australia We've compiled this list of national and state-based support services relevant to LGBTQIA+ people, their families and friends.

There are some real distressing stories, images, videos emerging of young queer folks being lured by IS-inspired, radicalised young men in Sydney (through dating apps), then beaten senseless.

If you need, there are several support services across the country for queer people to access.

#LGBTIQA+

Congrats to the whole team! Very cool technique!

P.S. This image should have made the cover!
