Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon—if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

- Adrian McEwen:Using one of the air quality sensors we make at https://aeternum.co as a cooking sensor.When there’s just a spike in NO2, that’s generally me making toast (on the gas grill)When there’s a spike in NO2 and bVOC levels, that’s me cooking a full meal on the gas hob.
When the bVOCs are ratcheting up on their own, that’s usually the bread machine running
