Testing out a syringe to measure reactant produced.
The British Science week primary pack has an experiment using
The idea is to determine which produces the best reaction
The experiment uses a balloon to collect the $CO_2$ produced, and uses a tape measure to compare the results.
I am trying to modify this a little to avoid using a baloon, but use a syringe instead.
So the set up I am looking to use has
I have just tested this set up but used Bicarbonate of soda & Citric acid and then added water using a dropper to start the reaction. Putting the bung in quickly so the $CO_2$ doesn't have time to escape. Sure enough the syringe plunger moved as the gas was pushed in.
So the next step is to set this up at the library and use the ingredients above. I plan to set this up before the STEM group on Saturday and observe during the session, which should be over a good few hours. I can then tweak before the next session on March 11th.
Magnetic fields on cosmological galaxy mergers
This is an interesting paper on Archive. Looking at how magnetic fields and galaxy mergers.
I have added links to the thread on the Fediverse, and provided a link to Science Forums for further discussion.

Search for gravitational waves set to resume
Search for gravitational waves set to resume following COVID-19 setbacks
Physics world have reported that the The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA will resume. They are looking for gravitational waves. You can read the full article here. Back in 2021, there was a talk at FOSDEM about Virgo which I made a post about on 7/3/2021.
There is some info on Ligo at the STEM group, which I can re-display if anyone is interested.

Latest JWST news.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope are finding too many early galaxies,
Posted to the fediverse by:
Looks like the JWST is sending back some fantasic science but also getting us to re-write much about what we thought we knew about the early universe.
It has only been running fully for about 7 months and it has sent back more science, which is going to keep people busy for decades.
A great time to study #Astronomy.

How Enzymes work
Another really good resource for anyone interested in Biology and BioChemistry related topics.
This was linked to at the end of the video on Proteins which as posted to fedi by Stephen Moran @stephenj[email protected]
This packs a lot of information in a short video, there are also some related videos in the side bar which look equally as informative.
If you're studying science subjects, sometimes you may not quite understand something so finding different explanations can be quite helpful.
You can follow Stephen on the Fediverse, (details above) and discuss. Feel free to also ask questions on :

Ecology jobs and research opportunities.
If you're interested in jobs within Ecology and Environment it may be worth following @jobsecoevo on the fediverse. As opportunities seem to get posted on a regular basis.
Note: That these seem to be generally PostDoc opportunities, but fedi is also about making connections too.
Also worth following @[email protected]">Ana Rodrigues

The structure of Proteins
Another really good resource for anyone interested in Biology and Chemistry related topics.

“Amazing visualisation and overview of the structure and action of proteins”

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.

The contribution of the modern amateur astronomer to the science of astronomy
A link to this paper was posted to the Fediverse, so i am sharing here, I am currently reading this and it is interesting.
Science really does open up possibilities and anyone can contribute
