I think I just jogged past Mark Beaumont on my commute to work in Edinburgh. Should’ve stopped to say amazing job on the round the world ride.

I’m now working as a software engineer on Move (structural geology software). All that studying of solid mechanics and fracture mechanics is now coming in handy.

So ScotRail, I lose my smart card with a £400 season ticket. Smart card team say show an email confirmation temporarily but Edinburgh Waverley team make me buy a ticket to pass through the barriers. What’s the deal?!

Hi Brooks Running UK&IE I’ve been a great fan of the Adrenaline GTS shoe, but the latest GTS 21 model rubs my ankle cos a bunch of cushioning seems to have been removed. Hope the feedback is useful. Shame, but I’ll need to look for another brand of shoe now.

No one likes a bragger, but I've just noticed two of my papers are on the CMAME most cited list journals.elsevier.com/computer-metho… Hughes beats us all.

Chuffed to get my first Scotland vest to run at Snowdon scottishathletics.org.uk/26705-2/

My presentation slides on electromagnetic BEM delivered at the IGA 2017 conference in Pavia can be downloaded here userweb.eng.gla.ac.uk/robert.simpson…

Paper on isogeometric structural-acoustic analysis accepted in IJNME! arxiv.org/abs/1704.08491 Zhaowei Liu Musabbir Majeed Robert Simpson

Got some isogeometric multiscale geometry discretisations working with simple FE projection tests. Onto some more interesting geometries...

If you're on track to gain a 1st class honours degree from a Scottish Uni and keen to pursue research in computational engineering I'd be interested to hear from you. Potential funding through Carnegie Trust. Include a CV in correspondence.

We're looking for an excellent student to take up a LKAS PhD studentship (fully funded home or international) to develop optimised, 3D printable biofilters for clean drinking water. Further details here gla.ac.uk/research/ourre…

When will these graphene inspired Inov8 running shoes hit the shelves? Next season's mudclaws? x.com/EPSRC/status/9…

Bonus of working at Glasgow Uni: you cross paths with an olympic runner on your lunchtime run. Keep up the good work @lauramuirruns !

That's my abstract submitted to ECCM-ECFD 2018. I don't think I've ever submitted one so far in advance of the deadline. But we are the conference organisers so an example must be set!

Made it through the snow to the Islay ferry. It’s a cold one out there

If you're interested in undertaking PhD research in optimised 3D printed biofilters for clean drinking water with Prof. Poppy Lamberton and Stephanie Connelly send your CV to me asap! Details here gla.ac.uk/research/ourre…

Our work on an isogeometric boundary element method for electromagnetic scattering has been accepted in the Journal of Computational Physics. Yes! eprints.gla.ac.uk/155664/

I'm moving to a new role as a software engineer for an oil and gas company next month. Thanks to all my academic collaborators and good luck with all your future grant applications and research!
