I think a really great way to understand how the general public views museums as nation-building tools is to look at how fake museums are used in theme parks.

Happy Halloween! To celebrate, 🌱biologist Jason Thomas and I made bioplastic algae strings from @TheTechInteract using 🎃pumpkin purée as the base. We made it into a spooky “gourd”-ian knot/pumpkin!! @CorinneTakara @biophilebytes

Put some science in your spoop! You can add all kinds of ingredients when you try out our newest #biotinkering at home activity, Algae String. I had a blast finding all the things in my kitchen that can fluoresce!

Halloween at home: grab a UV light and go on a scavenger hunt around your house for fluorescent ingredients to make your algae string SPOOKY. Hint! We found turmeric, laundry detergent and peanut butter (😮) fluoresces. ✨✨

It's so much fun to see the crazy creative ideas people have to put in their algae string. Makes me wish I had more than just food coloring at home!

My apartment has been full of goo for months. Come check out why!

It’s the hot new bio thing, we call it... "ALGAE STRING." In this activity you will use polymers made by algae and a bit of chemistry to create your own custom string! ⠀ Access the activity guide here: thetechathome.org/algaestring

Our first #Kombucha project: We made a @Sphero Specdrum piano using our dried out #SCOBY! This is iteration 1. Further experimentation will be done to perfect texture, bases, colors and sounds! @CorinneTakara @TheTechInteract @SpheroEdu

This is a great post on “airborne" & and why we need to rethink our comm on it. “A major problem plaguing this discussion is the false dichotomy between “droplet” & “airborne” transmission that we use in healthcare settings (for simplicity of messaging..” @dan_diekema

When talking about decolonizing science, I often get asked what that would look like?
I should have known (and love) that the answer to that question is @Glamrou.
Channel 4 News@Channel4News
“If subatomic particles defy constructs all the time, why should we believe in fixed constructs of gender or any kind of reality?” Drag performer & writer Amrou Al-Kadhi aka @Glamrou questions why gender should be binary when the physics which underpins the universe can change.

@Nycteris @TheTechInteract I feel that! I've definitely been there.

@benchadjacent @TheTechInteract It just smelled like healthy vinegar/kombucha, I just couldn’t stand sitting next to it 24/7
English
@Nycteris We use oolong tea @TheTechInteract because it was the one that the staff decided smelled the least bad.
Ranking of tea smells from best to worst, poll of ~30 people: oolong, white, black, green
You could try a different tea to see if the smell improves?
English
@benchadjacent Yeah! It was fine in my bedroom since I had covered it with cardboard, exactly!
