Ever seen an x-ray of a pufferfish? Well you have now!
Join us with @arielcamp.bsky.social on Tues when we'll use x-rays, animations & digital models to learn how, despite having skin as soft as lycra and spines as hard as porcelain, the pufferfish can repeatedly inflate & deflate

Thank you to sex educator Rachel for talking about the ins and outs of human sexuality at February’s scibar at @storyhouselive.bsky.social #chester #scibar
Tonight's @chesterscibar.bsky.social is from our #quimfluencer and sex educator Rachel Widdershins delivering the sex education talk you should have had at school.
Super talk from Rachel @chesterscibar.bsky.social.
Dead informative. Engaging and funny.
I’ve never seen cute cuddly STIs before.
Glad I braved the elements to cycle up. Sorry to all offended by humidity increase caused by me sitting drying. Hard to predict how wet I could get in a 5min ride.
Whatever you do, don't miss this tomorrow. Last time Rach talked we were packed. I guarantee you will learn a lot in a safe space all ready for Valentine's day.
It is a privilege to host this one.
Also an opportunity to ask those questions you've always been afraid to ask (or had never thought about asking until now!)
Join us tomorrow!
Although this will be a lot of fun, there'll be a serious side too. Rachel will create a safe & judgement free evening to explore the history & understanding of human sexuality. Nothing graphic, just humour, positive messaging & learning.
Frisky Feb is upon us!
Come on down, you know you want to.....
Paging @kenpeace.bsky.social !
To celebrate Valentine's Day and @storyhouselive.bsky.social #Queer we're getting a bit saucy next month... 😏
Join us for a racy romp through human sexuality!
📆 10th Feb. Drinks from 7, talk starts 730

Last night we had our final @chesterscibar.bsky.social of 2025. Our very own @pittso.bsky.social
revealed the scientific formula of a good story and broke this down for all the favourite #Christmas films.
Tonight!
It looks like the rain will have stopped by this evening, so no excuse not to chuck on a Christmas jumper and come join us
Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"
TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
Be sure you join us on Tuesday for our last talk of 2025 when @pittso.bsky.social will explore how our brains are hard-wired for stories. He'll explain how myths endure, the basis of psychology & how good campaigns work.
Then he’ll ruin your favourite festive films by explaining what they all share!
Are the British public right? Find out on Tuesday in my (free) talk at @storyhouselive.bsky.social for @chesterscibar.bsky.social ...
Your next SciBar needs you!
Our last talk of the year is going to be interactive, and before then we want to hear from you. 🗣️
Tell us your favourite Christmas film 📺 and what Christmas🎄 means to you on this poll 👉 www.menti.com/alswhy4vq7yt
(P. S. Don't forget to hit the 'next question' button)
I'm doing this in one week, and we want your thoughts in advance! And then for you to be there of course.
I'll be breaking down why stories are important for our own psychology and what connects Christmas stories in particular. I promise laughs and insight...
