How to revise: As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence

I just came across a new paper discussing convection experiments performed on the international space station... as if rotating convection wasn't already cool enough journals.aps.org/prfluids/abstr…

Is it just me or does 1m38s look familiar Tom Sykes? youtu.be/rGCv_tSdnhI?t

Very happy to see this paper come out in Nature Communications. We asked the question: how fast can Earth's magnetic field change direction? The answer is "pretty fast" - perhaps up to 10 degrees per year if you're near the equator. A rather longer answer is here: rdcu.be/b5rQr

Congratulations to Tom Sykes Tom Sykes on passing his PhD viva this morning! Excellent work - well done Tom! EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics Oxford Fluid Dynamics Lab Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics (LIFD)

Another EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics Dr! Congratulations Tom Sykes hope you are having a well deserved celebration this afternoon!

Excited and delightful to start as a postdoc research associate at the Oxford Mathematics in University of Oxford joining the WCMBlog and OCIAM group. I'll be working on mathematical modelling of cell therapies for liver disease funded by Medical Research Council. More to come soon...

What an exciting week! I have joined GeomagLiverpool as a postdoc to work on geodynamo modelling with Andy Biggin and co. What ingredients do simulations need in order to resemble Earth's magnetic field of the past millions of years (and even longer)? Let's find out...

You heard of Quasi-Geostrophy, but have you heard of Plesio-Geostrophy? 🤪 This new paper describes a new mathematical model that we will use to explore interannual dynamics of the Earth's outer core. Tests being currently run! eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/166399/1/PRSL.…

Congratulations to EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics student Colin Hardy on passing your viva today! What a great early Christmas present, onwards and upwards Dr Hardy! #cdtalumni #fluiddynamics #fluids

Delighted to pass my viva today! Huge thanks goes to my supervisors, examiners, EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council for the funding.
