Home Chemistry 2 – Magnesium
In an effort to help improve reactions of the Magnesium ribbon I have at home, I tried cleaning one piece with a sanding block, and a cleaning block used for cleaning vero / stripboards before soldering. I got some advice from Science Forums on this.
The result of can be seen in the photo below, so I have two pieces here for comparison. The difference is clear.

This is a really important development in that it shows that the GDPR and the Law are to be followed. Massive win for our personal data protection. People are waking up and finally taking back control and see what big tech is really doing.

Citizen scientists join fight to clean up rivers
This looks like something everyone can really get involved in, monitoring the water quality in rivers and other water. There is more details in a recent BBC Article
I will look in to this and see how to get involved, as it may also be something the Paignton Library STEM Group could get involved with.
Will post updates to my Fediverse for further discussion.

Science really does open up possibilities and anyone can contribute
This Massive Wall of Galaxies Is Lurking Beyond the Milky Way
Another interesting science post on the Fediverse.
Text
Cosmographers’ goal is to map out the observable universe, and from their findings we can not only learn more about the structures that make up everything we can see, we also gain insight into the things we cannot see!

Snap Blocks
I was looking for something relating to the snap package on Debian, but happened up on another programming tool using blocks. So am sharing.
Snap is produced by the University of Berkley in California, and allows you to create code using blocks, but at the same time displaying corresponding Python 3 code. As with Scratch everything is stored in the cloud.
Something to take a look at during code club at some point.
More information can be found in the links below.
Visually create, save, and share projects, in the cloud, with Snap!, a blocks-based programming language. Brought to you by
UCBerkeley,
