@ScotRail You didn’t warn us that the new app has higher system requirements and needs iOS 17. What are travellers with older iPhones supposed to do? Consider getting your developers to release an update without this restriction.

@ScotRail I left this large A0 size poster on Edinburgh to Glasgow express train, arrived 1637 Queen St yesterday. It was on luggage rack above my seat in the 2nd carriage, in a long cardboard box with my name. Has it been handed in to lost property at Queen St or Waverley?

@michaelfromuk @GracelessHippo @_wharvey @COGUK_ME @CovidGenomicsUK @CVRbioinfo @CVRinfo Wheat is a hexaploid with a pretty big genome isn't it? My background is actually in botany, somehow found my way into virus research.
