Posted on 14. Dec, 2012 by DramaQueen.
This Friday finds the Aurora office bright, woolly and very cosy, as we take part in Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day! All of us at Aurora have travelled to work sporting jumpers either bought, borrowed or blinged, and donated money to Save the Children to contribute towards their life-changing work with the world’s most [...]

Honey: It’s the bee’s knees
Posted on 19. Nov, 2012 by CraftyFox.
Inspiration for this post began after ear-wigging into a conversation on the train recently when I overheard someone from a bee charity discussing the plight of the humble bee and the impact their demise has on the pollination of (apparently) 90% of the world’s crops. A few weeks passed without much more thought on the [...]

Fat fighting fizzy drinks
Posted on 16. Nov, 2012 by AnyNoise.
In the last couple of weeks a stranger has appeared in the Aurora office, or, to be more specific, the Aurora fridge. We have branched out into the new and (mildly) exciting world of caffeine-free Coca-Cola and our trendy 1950’s style fridge is glittering festively with red (full-fat), silver (diet) and gold (caffeine-free) aluminium goodness. [...]

Bacon’s back
Posted on 06. Apr, 2010 by phaedrus.
Having conveyed some guilt in my recent post, ‘Bacon on Test’, due to excess bacon consumption in the name of science, it happily all washed away one morning last week when my colleague, ‘Ze Frollein’, told me that “a fry-up is the best way to start your day”. Now, although it was April fool’s day, [...]

Bacon on test
Posted on 18. Feb, 2010 by phaedrus.
As someone who often resorts to the easy, timesaving and gratifying (if unhealthy) breakfast solution of the local cafe fried bacon and egg sandwich, I have decided to justify this little vice by turning it into a scientific study designed to improve public welfare.
