@LaurenTedaldi When I researched that market 3 years ago, the options were very few, and I ended up getting the Ortlieb Vario QL2.1, which is quite expensive for what you get, a bit fiddly to use, and not as high capacity as I'd wanted, but the only real option available at the time.

Anyone got any recommendations for a waterproof cycling rucksack that I can also (relatively quickly and easily) attach to my pannier rack please thank you?

@AdamRutherford I am inordinately fond of this statue, which by complete coincidence is about a dozen metres from where another statue went splash at the weekend.

Some statues I am fond of.

In our latest Research Feature, Henry Scowcroft @oh_henry explores how starting a blog and engaging with social and traditional media can raise the profile of research groups, with insights from @CancerPrev_KCL's @petersasieni | Read the story: cancerresearchuk.org/funding-for-re…

@SciencePunk I'm paying into (a) but assuming that if I survive to 65 it will be worthless and I'll be wishing I'd taken the money instead and put it into building a remote fortified house with a walled kitchen garden and its own water source while I still had the chance.

@statto I'm certain many years ago someone, probably Henry Gee, collected up loads of these and published them in 'Harry Potter and the Eponyms of Anatomy', but it appears to have disappeared from Google...

Doesn’t Flash Gordon go there on the way to the islets of Langerhans?

#TIL that the ring connecting the lens in the eye to the muscles which allow it to focus are called the zonules of Zinn! What a name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonule_of…

@EveHart nice. Looks like maybe Mam Tor or Losehill? Easy to get up from Edale station.

@rrrosco insist you won't pay a penny, ross.

Sporadic reminder that the middle-English word for Orchid was #bollockwort, and the campaign to get #bollockwort normalized in polite society is on. Please use the hashtag #bollockwort when referring to #bollockwort. <Message ends> twitter.com/kajsiebert/sta…

@mhbeals @figshare yes. RG CB and that works fine -- at least, when you're using big blocks of colour like that. (Sometimes palettes that work fine in big blocks get difficult if used for more complex figures or as thin lines.)

i love that epsrc put "website" in the title of their website, in case you were looking at their website but were really confused because you hadn't realised that their website is a website.

@MLBrook i got a moto g5s+ in the summer and it seems fine.

Looked up *that* prof who was struck off for faking data in his grant. Of course he's now got a slick website selling diets to sick people.

@SCEdmunds is that Tacheles? So, evict the squatters' commune with its sharing culture and reassert corporate control over prime real estate?

@McDawg I subscribed 2011-12 and it amounted to less than £3.31 per copy, but they all said £10 on the cover.

@McDawg Assume it's something to do with not being a mass distribution to newsagents kind of title? But it still technically allows them to sell it.

@McDawg And are you sure the printed cover price on a physical copy isn't still that, or higher?

@McDawg annual print subscription was never anything like the price written on the cover

@russswan Mea culpa! I tried to catch all of those (twitter.com/CRUKresearch/s…), but must have been asleep! It's a hard-to-shift term in the field :(
