@gcntweet you've removed the whole Vuelta section already! The day of the final stage isn't even over. Now it's an absolute pain to find highlights, Three Breakaway, etc. Please leave it a few extra days next time 😀

Physics trio take their research to Parliament manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Road Closed - Oxford Road is closed in both directions between Booth Street West and Grafton Street outside the University due to a serious water leak, causing major flooding on the road. Sgt K

@OfficialUoM @bluedotfestival @jodrellbank @bjork Wow! @bjork at @bluedotfestival. This is huge!

The @bluedotfestival is set to return to @jodrellbank next Summer, with the legendary @bjork performing a world-first audio-visual orchestral show.

@Emma_Alexander Thank you so much @Emma_Alexander. She tends to be so skittish that she's probably as elusive as a mountain lion. It's probably more a matter of keeping an eye out in case she pops her head out somewhere or crosses a path.

@BretonRene Please let me know if you’d like any help searching and/or door knocking, posting leaflets etc. I changed up my usual running route yesterday to include Birchfields but there’s so many bushes she could be hiding in 😕

Our lovely cat Poutine disappeared on the night of Wednesday to Thursday and hasn't come back since. If you walk around the Birchfields Park area (M14) or even Platt Fields Park, please keep an eye out for her. 🙏 instagram.com/p/CR_HOXUrHTH/…

Jodrell Bank finds a way to be active (beyond observing the sky, of course!) during the pandemic: manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

Got my first covid-19 jab! Yay!

This amazing initiative has been set up by @dara_project student Ann Njeri Ng'endo @njeri_ke to ensure as many Kenyan girls as possible continue their education. Read more about it below and follow the @ElimishaMschana account for updates & activities. elimishamsichana.org/about

Some results involving colleagues, and my postdoc Colin Clark, connected to a paper we published recently: True identity of mysterious gamma-ray source revealed manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/…

All these years I've been frying eggs wrong. Learned proper way today. Recipe: 1. Open Microsoft Excel 2. Put in a bunch of numbers in two sheets 3. Do a lookup to cross-match entries 4. Wait for laptop to heat up and go crazy (won't take long) 5. Cook eggs Enjoy

Well done to my former MScR student @Susmitastro who now has her first paper out, from back in her days working at @UoM_Pulsars with me.

@Fitzparticle I now realise that on top of cycling we share a passion for pizza making. We'll have to compare notes...

I'd like to introduce you all to my large neapolitan son.

@Fitzparticle You've got the same eyes

In case you like computing and physics, or know someone who does...

@oliverplov @NLOastronomy Thanks @oliverplov. Hopefully next time I'll be delivering the talk in person ;-)

@BretonRene @NLOastronomy Really enjoyed listening to last nights talk on relativity/pulsars. Great to have someone with so much knowledge explain complex theories simply. #Lockdownlecture

His talk is entitled: "Brief introduction to pulsars". He will briefly describe the nature and properties of pulsars, which are some of the most extreme objects populating our Universe, having the largest observed magnetic fields and fastest known rotational periods.

Hey twitters friends. Tonight is public talk number 2 out of 3 this week for me! You can watch live on YouTube bit.ly/AoffT-EDI Also feature colleague Romeel Dave.

Editing #DataScience lecture subtitles on a Sunday. Hardly a reason to smile, but this one worked: apparently I’m discussing the “Ikea information Criterion”. cc @BretonRene
