Amazing initiative by Physics students at Manchester, honouring our colleague Lloyd Cawthorne. Many of us felt his absence today very strongly. Knowing how much he would have loved the turnout and enthusiasm of the day made it even harder. Join them at Schuster, next Wed at, 11

It'd be nice if he & others who want to go to uni had enthusiastic teachers who have time to think how to inspire students, rather than overworked academics dealing with the consequences of staff & pay cuts and casualisation #UCUstrike #ucuRISING

RT IF YOU ARE A STRIKING UNIVERSITY WORKER, POSTIE, TEACHER OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE PICKET LINE TODAY. ALSO RT IF YOU BACK THEM. Let’s cut beyond the media and show people they have mass support. #ucuRISING #StandByYourPost

I’m bock baby!

We’ve the passion and we’ve the flare* and we’re here to win #ucuRISING ⁦UCU⁩ ⁦UMUCU⁩ ⁦UCU North West⁩ ⁦TUC North West⁩

13/ We need a new age of work where the value we place on ourselves is about who we are, and not about what we do. The truth is that when we are brave enough to free ourselves from the social markers of status we fear to lose, only then are we finally free to really flourish.

Not much particle physics happening today. Several striking profs aren’t on the picture. 👋🏻👊🏻 Strikes also affect research #UCURising

It's been a while since I found time/energy to meaningfully tweet. But at least Twitter is a source of festive inspiration (H/T x.com/gnuman1979/sta…)

trying and failing in various ways

What's up academicbabe you haven't put any abstracts under the conference badge Christmas tree

A large part of the last four years of my life was dedicated to building the real-time processing of LHCb Experiment data. Curious about what we had to do, in terms of technology and people, to process three to four terabytes of data per second? Read on! 🧵

Our baby is almost 4 months old which is when babies start "sleep regression", meaning the baby starts fitting models at night

Just a week left to apply to DAAD News #RISE internships 📢 There are projects across STEM, including two great particle physics projects here at TU Dortmund ⚛️ Highly recommend to anybody interested in doctoral study in Germany! 🇩🇪

Congratulations to Dr Shantam Taneja who successfully defended his thesis on CP violation in charm mesons at LHCb UoM Particle Physics in what was probably the latest viva. 👏Special thanks to Christos for taking on a long coach ride to get here from Edinburgh in the absence of trains.

I want to get back on twitter for all the interactions with fun people I'm missing out on but aaAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA term time

It's time to #BinTheBoffin The Sun The Mirror @DailyStar! Many colleagues of mine (working at the Large Hadron Collider #LHC) make music & play in bands, and we have an awesome music festival at the CERN laboratory every summer club-musiclub.web.cern.ch/hardronic. Cover that, if you dare!
