What’s happened to our postal service in Worthing? Two deliveries a week if we’re lucky. Timed publications e.g. Radio Times arrive after the week covered. Hopeless… @PostOffice #WorthingPost

@Chf_Eng_Air @TheIET Congratulations on a great year of service at the IET, Sir Julian

Last day today: exceptionally proud to have been President of @TheIET for 2021-22. Pleased to have done my bit for our wonderful engineering profession, & shall volunteer further. My mug & Typhoon picture in my bag on way home in a packed train. Wonderful rear-view memories.

On behalf of the PETRAS community, I would like to express our deep sadness at the passing of Her Majesty the late Queen Elizabeth 2nd. She was a unique role model for leadership, discretion and propriety in public life.@PETRASiot @UCLSTEaPP @EPSRC

@BBCNews PM programme discussing extracting more gas out of the North Sea - but would this reduces prices for UK consumers? Surely the companies extracting the gas will sell at the international market price?

@DrLucyMason Agreed - and ‘Policy Readiness Levels’

💡Innovation processes often focus on Technology Readiness Levels: but do we need Organisation Readiness Levels and Behavioural Readiness Levels to sit alongside TRLs?

@McAfee Problems with downloads on LiveSafe; both my machines are affected ‘not connected to internet’ message

Mars Perseverance Sol 467: Right Mastcam-Z Camera mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multi… Zoom in to look at the regular array of holes/marks on the white artefact - looks artificial to me

@EdwardCrouchUK Thank heavens for that! A real public health issue is being created, and grounds are growing for a council tax rebate - residents have paid for this service.

Great to be at the @turinginst last week talking on our @PETRASiot research outputs

No one human should have existential power over our species. Need to rethink governance

SpaceX reprioritized to cyber defense & overcoming signal jamming. Will cause slight delays in Starship & Starlink V2.

@davidgilmour Let’s hope Russian soldiers read your posts - how to reach out?

Russian soldiers, stop killing your brothers. There will be no winners in this war. My daughter-in-law is Ukrainian and my grand-daughters want to visit and know their beautiful country. Stop this before it is all destroyed. Putin must go

@EmmaKennedy @DavidPriceUCL The BBC is a national treasure, those who agree should speak up. Its impartiality is respected the world over.

@d_spiegel Doesn’t PCR give the opportunity to sequence, hence identify new variants? Symptomatic probably implies a higher viral load.

If now no need for confirmatory PCR after asymptomatic + LFD, why is PCR necessary after *symptomatic* + LFD? When chance of false positive is even lower? Genuinely unsure what the logic is.

@Ri_Science An outstanding lecture series; thank you JVT and guests for a wonderfully clear exposition.

Did you miss the first night of the #XmasLectures? Fear not, technology is here to help — it's already on BBC iPlayer for catch up! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… Join us tonight at 8pm on BBC Four for Lecture Two, to delve into the science of how viruses spread.

Missing skills are affecting 50% of engineering companies. Have a look at our latest @TheIET skills survey of over 1000 engineering and technology employers.

Every adult in the country now needs to get a Covid-19 booster vaccine, because two doses does not give you enough protection against catching Omicron.
