Bioprospecting Birmingham

This week I have been down at Birmingham Open Media (BOM) running an interactive DIY-Bio session called Bioprospecting Birmingham to see if we can grow some bacteria in the gallery that has been sourced from the buildings and monuments of Birmingham. I made a short video to explain what I was up to!

You can make agar at home too - take a look at Dr Simon Park's Exploring the Invisible website for information and saftey considerations.

Salted caramel brownies

Salted caramel brownies for my birthday! We had to throw out the fleximold brownie pan so I cooked them in three loaf tins - lots of extra crunchy and chewy edges - yummy!
