A great day in Edinburgh ahead of my 2 ‘Science of Baking’ shows at @NtlMuseumsScot for @EdSciFest tomorrow. As always, representing @Leicesterchem and @uniofleicester - a privilege to take my shows up to Scotland! #EdSciFest #SpaceshipEarth

💬 This quote is from our #HeroofScience, @joshpsmalley, an organic chemist who rose to fame after becoming a finalist in the 2023 edition of @BritishBakeOff. 👨‍🍳 He told us all about how he has used chemistry to perfect his baking skills. 🥖🧪 📸 © NSPCC #feature #GBBO

Back again for 2025, I’m thrilled to be speaking at this year's #CheltSciFest on 7th June. Delving into the Science of Baking in ‘On Your Marks, Get Set….Bake’. View the full line-up here: https://t.co/cDxhONtlfc Tickets go on sale 23rd April @cheltfestivals @uniofleicester

If you missed our webinar with @joshpsmalley all about the scrumptious science behind bread, you can now watch the recording. Great British Bake-Off finalist approved recipes included! https://t.co/6HdgDfKvNM

The recording for the webinar will soon be made available to watch. It’s such a professional set-up, made possible from our in-house AV team at @uniofleicester - Scott Skidmore, Mike O’Brien and Clifford Oakes. Please do take a look! 4/4

During the webinar we delved into the science behind the ingredients, the molecular structure of starch polysaccharides and gluten proteins, as well as how the gluten network is formed, how starch is broken down and how the Maillard reactions work. 3/4

These included: -British Hot Cross Buns -German Osterzopf - recipe and endorsement from fellow GBBO alumni @juergenthebread -Italian Pane di Pasqua - inspiration from GBBO winner @giuseppecooks 2/4

The Chemistry of Easter Breads Had a fabulous time today delivering another ‘Chemistry of Baking’ webinar from the @university Science Kitchen with @RoySocChem @ChemistryWorld , This time an Easter special, focusing on International Easter Breads 🌍. @Leicesterchem 1/4

Chemistry of Easter Breads webinar is happening tomorrow! 12-1pm Live from the @uniofleicester Science Kitchen. Can’t wait 🙌

Only a few days to go until my ‘Chemistry of Easter Breads’ webinar with @ChemistryWorld on Wednesday! Are you bready?? 🍞🥖🥯

Delighted to be the Hero of Science for @TWJSciNat in their latest issue. Talking kitchen chemistry and how science skills can open doors to many opportunities. If you’re in the shops this weekend, grab a copy to give to a young person interested in science! @uniofleicester

I can't wait to get growing! Along the way I will be post photos of the progress, then when harvesting arrives, share a few recipes on how to use the produce. You don't even need a garden for it, as the seeds available are suitable for planting in pots or on a window ledge.2/2

Really excited to be a part of this initiative, launching the latest Leicester seed library at @uniofleicester. Whether you're a student, a seasoned grower or a novice, all you need is library membership to be able to get your hands on some free seeds and get started. 1/2

I made a couple of cakes for visitors to taste for themselves alongside a demonstration to show how it is assembled. A brilliant event in collaboration with Literary Leicester, with over 50 organisations on show celebrating the amazing heritage of our city. 2/2

A great day at the @uniofleicester Celebrate Heritage event today. I was on the Archives and Special Collections stand showcasing a book of 18th and 19th century recipes. In focus was the so called 'Queen Cake': a currant cake spiced with mace and cinnamon. 1/2

Here's another of our recent most read articles, from Shaun Cowley, John Schwabe, James Hodgkinson, @joshpsmalley, @li_pavan and co. 'Cereblon-recruiting proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can determine the selective degradation of HDAC1 over HDAC3' https://t.co/4CTxJ1A3ip

I'm delighted to be involved with organising the New approaches to the treatment of Parkinson's. Abstract submission and registration now open. #BMCSPARKINSONS2025 https://t.co/Zig8zXwh7k

Celebrating National Pi Day (3.14) in style! Today I've had the joy of hosting @juergenthebread (GBBO 2021) in the Science Kitchen @uniofleicester for (ofcourse) a pie making masterclass. We made a German Cider Apple Pie complete with a deep dive into the science behind it.
