Yesterday we lost my best boy, Mr Larry. Sleep well, wibble cat.

@BCiani About bloody time. Congratulations

Well looks like I finally can add the ‘senior’ word to the lecturer. Only because of supporting colleagues, fantastic collaborators, marvellous students and researchers. It’s a bit bittersweet this year but I need to say thank you 🤗

We are all really proud of Dr Klaudia Slowik's first paper, substantial research output supervised by Prof @ColleyHelen with @murdochC10 @sebspain @JakeEdmans and key collaborators (who I do not have Twitter IDs for, sorry). sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@Dr_MIP Hopefully you'll have found the bananas by then!

@Dr_MIP Fancy meeting up in a couple of weeks?

RIP @electricalWSOP you glorious bastard youtu.be/DOajoO5Bi7A?si…

@Prof_Hatton Not just you, it is the nature of academia

@sebspain You know me so well!

Have other academics experienced rushing around trying to finish daily tasks plus make final preparations for a PhD viva tomorrow, only to discover you have your times muddled and you have a whole extra day before the exam? A whole extra 24 hours to catch up and prepare...

@CandiceMajewski Cavedale/Peveril castle?

Different outlooks in life... Me: 'Oh what a lovely view, I should take a photo!!!' Molly: 'Why have we stopped moving? I should probably roll in this pile of poo instead of wasting time...' (Someone had a lovely bath when we got home...)

@CandiceMajewski Cave dale (1st pic)?

In case you just need something nice to look at 🌤

@LizzyBuchan May or may not be fair, but coming to this for the first time I’d have liked to hear his answer.

Absolutely savage exchange at the Covid Inquiry where epidemiologist Carl Heneghan is asked about being called a "fuckwit" by other experts

In accordance with ancient tradition (and the Port of London Thames Byelaws) a bundle of straw is dangled from Millennium Bridge to warn shipping of work under the bridge (we’re not making this up, honest). Robert, from our rope access contractor CAN Ltd, does the honours.

With past triumphs such as the Student Lifecycle Project (theregister.com/2021/11/16/she…) I'm sure that this restructure will proceed smoothly and will result in great outcomes

@GroupThomas @BioMetallo I'm so sorry to hear this Jim. My condolences to you, the BioMetallo team and to Kristy's friends and family.

Currently reading @KirstySedgman excellent book on (un)reasonableness. Seeing @SuellaBraverman latest anti-lgbt stance, I am sad to think that many will think this perfectly reasonable.
