#Galactica "Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids in motion. Fluid mechanics can be split into two branches, fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics. Fluid dynamics is the study of fluids in motion, and hydrodynamics is the study of fluids in motion, under the influence of gravity."

Now that's a proper outreach programme !!

Feels good to be back after 2.5 years

I am unfortunate to be living on the right side of the building. PVC vs metal = 1-0.

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by: 1. reading widely, 2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality, 3. taking year-long sabbaticals. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Super thrilled to share my first pub, which has landed on the cover of Nature! We document the decline of disruptive science and technology across several decades in 45 million papers and 3.9 million patents. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Citations, grants, faculty hirings. What else? Academia is no more pristine than the real world in which it exists. physics.aps.org/articles/v16/15

21st International Workshop on Numerical Methods for Non-Newtonian Flows held in stunning Luss, a village in Argyll & Bute, next to Loch Lomond. Kudos to Monica Oliveira & others for organising it (yes we are squinting & yes we are in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) @GrahamFluidDyn Paulo E. Arratia Emad Chaparian

Unverified but apparently a pioneer in fluid mechanics used to say, (1) "As an academic, you should try to write a book that every library will want to have" (2) "If you want to be successful as an academic, you should have sources of income other than the university one"
