How did I miss this?! John Bercow speaking on Johnson had these fatal words: he is “regarded as a serial dissembler, as an habitual liar, as someone who has made his career through ducking, and dodging, and diving, and dissembling, and deceiving people.”

(1/2) Stanford Applied Physics famously has the "KGB" (Kapitulnik, Geballe and Beasley) group. A research group with, semi-formally, three PIs. As someone who wants to lead a group one day I'm wondering why we don't do things like this more often?

❗️Another week, another PhD student has come to my office in tears as they can’t afford to live in London on £18k. And this is before the price cap increase. UK Research and Innovation this time - can I ask what you are doing to support the next-generation so there is a next-generation?! Pls RT

Scientists spend too much time taking “professional selfies”. A paper from PNAS describes what it takes to be a scientist today. Key points (that I always emphasize myself): #AcademicTwitter Academic Chatter™ #research

I have written 300+ peer-reviewed scientific papers in the last 15 years with more than 27,000 citations.

If universities in countries like Australia pay twice as much as UK universities at Professorial level, how exactly do the Tories plan to attract top talent to Brexit Britain?

This clip of Gary Lineker from 2021 feels relevant to where we are now. He outlines his interest in 'refugee issues', how he considers himself a freelancer, how Tim Davie's never called to say 'you can't tweet that' - and that he doesn't think 'they could do that anyway'.

It is probably not a fair comparison, but I can’t stop comparing junior doctors with postdocs and consultants with professors at universities…any thoughts?

In the NYT today, Cade Metz implies that I left Google so that I could criticize Google. Actually, I left so that I could talk about the dangers of AI without considering how this impacts Google. Google has acted very responsibly.
