Want to explore the inner workings of a cell via a video game? Look no further! @beatascienceart has created Microscopya, an adventure and puzzle game that allows you to customise your own character and go on a journey through the cell! microscopya.com

I've worked together with @astro_timpeake ever since he was appointed @esa astronaut, and it has been an awful lot of fun - and this not the end of that journey! I look forward to seeing what the next chapter bring. Thank you Tim for all your have done, and will do, for UK space.

Amazing opportunity for anyone finishing their undergrad and interested in protein nutrition!

For now, we will be opening up all 24 space-flown experimental cassettes so that we can put all 72 worm-containing bags in the freezer. Our next step will be preparing for analysis #staytuned #wormsinspace #MME2

We have now opened our first experimental cassette! Here you can see three space-flown bags, which contain the worms in their liquid food 🐛 🦠 #wormsinspace #MME2
