A friend asked if we eat its flowers here, yet to us even observing the banana is a novelty; it’s a space station situation. The only natural light it’s seen would be the few summer rays filtered by the windows. It decided to live despite our forgetfulness, in a fully enclosed synthetic environment.

Listen, I’m far up North and we grew it indoors on hydroponics and I have never seen a banana flower so this is a very big deal right now

The rise in temperature paired with high humidity and the fact that the sun sets around midnight for a short time so your whole body is getting cooked by the sun at a 45-degree angle is not good.

Is it possible to get the ammonite and other shirts online? I’m not in the UK so couldn’t come :( Thanks!

They’ll be so lucky to work with you! Hope there’ll be another opportunity, too. Would try in a heartbeat, but can’t travel due to my health situation at the moment. Best of luck to you and all applicants :)

Heii 👋 tahaksin teistega siin eesti keeles ka suhelda aga minu praegune konto jääb ilmselt täiesti ingliskeelseks. vahet pole, kas listi pannakse või mitte, otsustasin mingit “mina olen ka siin” märki endast jätta :)

I’m an undergrad maths student (part-time due to physical disability) working on researching extinction dynamics and critical transitions in ancient ecosystems by developing simulations based on fossil data.

I’m open about my disability despite the stigma to make it easier for us all.

I wrote this for my university's Maths & Stats department newsletter, OpenInterval, and the full version is available here: www3.open.ac.uk/documents/3/zx…

We’re currently working in a paper and introduced a lot of new methods, so I’ll post more details when it’s published! 🌋
