The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can't understate it.

 

New to Mander, a Lemmy instance focused on the natural sciences.

The Science of Cooking

We’re focused on cooking and the science behind how it changes our food. Some chemistry, a little biology, whatever it takes to explore a critical aspect of everyday life.

Same here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don't even notice the difference until the screen loads 😄

 

The school year just ended but I wanted to show off what my class was able to accomplish with some cheap high school microscopes. The images below are under-leaf impressions of diocot and monocot plants which show the stomata used to control water evaporation. To avoid the preparation of slicing leaves themselves we painted a thin layer of nail polish on the underside. Peeling this dry layer off results in a mold of the leaf itself which can then be attached to a blank slide with cellophane tape.

Monocot @400x

 

My wife and I both have problems with gluten so we've been brewing our own GF beer for the last ~7 years. It was difficult to get started but the output is well worth the effort!

Most of them are darker brews (stouts, tripels, etc). This is one of our lighter holiday ales that came in ~8% ABV.

After being on both sides of the experience, the chapter "Perhaps It’s Not You It’s Them: PhD Student-Supervisor Relationships" hits home.
