Happy Birthday to Arieh, Organiser of the #NewtonGCS2019 programme!

Impressive, Euan, congratulations!

Reading Hello World while flying back to UK so that I can see Hannah Fry on telly ... I'm in heaven (or at least, at 40,000 ft altitude)

An excellent end to the week: Colin Hardy submitted his PhD thesis "Magnetostrophic analysis of Earth's internal magnetic field." It was a genuine pleasure to work with him on it. Well done!

I fully support my colleague Dr Parker in this.

Come work with me (or, if you don't want to, at least in the same place as me). University of Leeds is advertising two permanent posts (lecturer) in Applied Maths: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r… . Also posts in pure maths, financial maths and stats: jobs.leeds.ac.uk/AdvancedSearch… .

After 1.5 weeks of #UCUstrike against ridiculous cuts to our pensions which saw almost all maths workshops in Leeds cancelled, now a few days to handle the most urgent student issues. Forced to go back to strike next week. Feeling sorry for students and grateful for their support

Huge rally in Leeds Leeds University UCU Fair pay Equality Diversity Security

It was an inspiring rally. And so big that I somehow missed you.

Well said. Utterly disgusting that the UK's so-called social mobility tsar says stuff like this.

Terrible that this is happening in my university, it feels like we have gone backwards as a society in the last twenty years. theguardian.com/business/2022/…

Fascinating article, interesting to read about the controversy around ideas that I hear about like epigenetics, plasticity and neutral evolution theguardian.com/science/2022/j…

Great news and well deserved, very happy for Euan!

I had a great three days in Manchester with talks celebrating Nick Higham 60th. Thanks to the speakers and organizers and congratulations to the birthday boy! #njh60

It was lovely to see it this morning on my way in without the fence. Well done! I am too lazy to take my own photos ...

Is scrolling through long daily lists of ArXiv abstracts the mathematician's Tinder?

One of my last achievements in 2017 was to submit a paper with Abeer Alnahdi and Alastair Rucklidge: "Localized Patterns in Periodically Forced Systems: II. Patterns with Non-Zero Wavenumber" arxiv.org/abs/1712.07573

The recording of what should have been my lecture today on computing integrals with the trapezium rule shows 56 minutes of this ... #USSstrike
