We’ve been really excited about LEGO’s all-female minifig “Research Institute” set for the obvious reason that it’s great. Someone took things to the next level and has given the ladies of LEGO’s Research Institute their own Twitter account. It’s absolutely worth following. Don’t believe us? Here are a few of our favorites:

It’s mostly jokes about research and life in academia, but even if that’s not your thing the pictures are pretty wonderful. Great work, mysterious hero behind this account. The account has a completely voluntary tip jar as well, so if you really like it maybe consider kicking them a few pounds.
