Well worth reading!

@david_colquhoun Tempus fugit. You were four years younger than I am now when you received that certificate!

I was going through on of many boxes of stuff from my UCL office. Found a large envelope, apparently unopened since it was given to me by Reimar Lust, in 1990. #Heidelberg seems like yesterday.

@david_colquhoun Hope your symptoms remain mild and you recover soon.

Damn. I escaped Covid for 3 years. Until now. Day 2: T=37.7 aural, O2=94-96% , feels like a bad cold at the mo. Covid no joke at 87, but I've had every vaccination.

Storm Babet is dumping a lot of rain but @BBCScotlandNews please be accurate - 112 mm and 107 mm are not “more than a metre”.

39 years ago I played Vince Fontaine in my school’s production of Grease - one of the few non-singing parts! Thought I’d see how this production matched up.

Have become a bit obsessed by this game over the past year. My one year stats show an approximately normal distribution.

@awmackenzie @LondonCityAir Indeed. Agree, probably faster by train to central Edinburgh too.

Great new @LondonCityAir security screening that allows “everything to be left in your bag”. Except that the system pushes almost all bags to be manually searched (by just 2 people), causing huge delays. Would have been faster to just stick with old method!

@GillingwaterLab @JournalofAnat Challenging times ahead for Society-owned journals whose income is used to promote their disciplines and, in many cases, foster and support the next generation of researchers. Unfortunately, none of this recognised by the those who targeted the big profit publishers.

We are hiring! 2 years of post-doctoral position in the Paoletti lab to study unconventional glycine-sensitive ionotropic glutamate receptors. RT welcome!

@DrKimEBarrett @AlaskaAir Initially ready this as “four hour hangover” and thought you’d celebrated a bit much after Friday evening 🤣

The worst thing to hear when you’ve already had a four hour layover after transatlantic flight - “maintenance is on board the plane”. But it looks like with new equipment we now will only be an hour late on @AlaskaAir.

@DrKimEBarrett @TfL Perhaps part of a UCL study to see how our hippocampus remaps to take account of altered travel directions?

Still terribly disoriented by the two way traffic on Tottenham Court Road and the fact the buses no longer go down Gower Street @TfL

We are recruiting 30 - yes, that's right, 30! - Chancellor's Fellows to prestigious, tenure-track, research-intensive early/mid-career roles at the University of Edinburgh. Please spread the word!
