We are all really proud of Dr Klaudia Slowik's first paper, substantial research output supervised by Prof

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/s…) I'm sure that this restructure will proceed smoothly and will result in great outcomes
Staff at Sheffield are reeling after being told they will be subject to a university-wide restructure.
Jobs are at risk, but so far there has been no consultation whatsoever.

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.

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

Mars is a rocky place, and my wheels take the brunt of it.
But that doesn't stop me from exploring! My team says my wheels are holding up. Plus: A software update I got in April helps minimize steering, which improves my mobility and reduces the wear that comes from steering.
ALT A color image taken by the Curiosity rover's MAHLI instrument shows tears and holes in one of its wheels on the surface of Mars. The dusty, black wheel takes up the majority of the image, with tears to the center and left sides of it. The treads create slight V-shapes along the tires. To the right is a black tube and dust-covered mechanical components of the rover.

Great paper reporting small peptide delivery from a mucoadhesive patch, @JakeEdmans is a wizard with electrospinning, also @murdochC10 @ColleyHelen and @sebspain link.springer.com/article/10…
Even more exciting work to follow!

So yesterday, our cat Inky had what must have been, for his little cat brain, a genuine horror experience.
(he is fine)
First of all, you need to understand that he hates the broom.
Tim taught me A-level chemistry. It was his teaching that made me study chemistry at university rather than some form of engineering. A lovely man who had a profound impact on my life.
We love and miss him dearly. If you want to hear about the greatness of a person and their impact on lives - read this.
