An actual scientist for Minister of Science?! It feels as though our nation has just gone up an evolutionary jump. 🙌

Ten mins into #ENGSWI and it's probably fair to say England have been a bit brighter than in recent games. They haven't lulled me to sleep just yet, at least.

England just won on penalties and I think I can hear four horsemen outside the door.

Right then. England in a semi final. What could possibly go wrong??

I hate VAR.

England, with their commanding 1-1 lead sit in a low block with a solid six at the back. Confidence.

We are hiring at Nature Physics! If you have expertise in condensed matter, quantum stuff (broadly defined) or optics/photonics, then we would love to hear from you. Closing date Aug 9th. Feel free to DM or email me if you have any questions. nature.com/naturecareers/…

I am fairly sure that the only sense in which football is 'coming home' is that it has bought a retirement spot on the Costa del Sol.

Chelsea here, Chelsea there...

The Nature Physics editorial celebrates 100 years of bosons this July. I didn't write the piece, but I learned a lot by reading it. Strong (if rather partial) recommend. 😉 nature.com/articles/s4156…

A reminder that Nature Physics is hiring! We are looking for someone with expertise along the spectrum between cond-mat and optics/photonics and a passion for the communication of science. Job ad is here, deadline is Aug 9th. Please share! nature.com/naturecareers/…

🚨🚨 Nature Physics is hiring (again) 🚨🚨 In addition to the condensed-matter physics role (deadline Aug 9th!), we are also hiring someone to take care of our optics and photonics brief. Locations are US and Germany, deadline is Aug 23rd Advert is here: nature.com/naturecareers/…

Dear authors, This is 100% true. Sincerely, An editor.

Quick reminder that Nature Physics is hiring an optics/photonics editor, and the deadline for applications is FRIDAY. Feel free to message/email me if you have any questions. (Despite the image preview below, locations in Germany are also available.) nature.com/naturecareers/…

I am about half-way through reviewing my second set of job applications in just a couple of weeks, and I really really really wish people would not put their headshot on their CV because it gives a massive opportunity for my implicit bias to kick in.

Along with my colleagues Giulia Pacchioni and Daniel McNally, we have put together a Nature Conference on quantum materials that will take place next March at Yale. Full details here: conferences.nature.com/event/COQM25/s… We have space for a number of contributed talks, so please apply!

This is quite possibly the nerdiest joke I've ever seen, but honestly, I loled.

This is a fantastic initiative, because an Article can accommodate up to exactly six figures so that's basically a whole paper written in one day. 😉
