I'm generally avoiding X/Twitter, but I'm case this gets through all the noise: I'm at #ASEConf2025 today and it would be great to catch up with anyone I know, IRL or virtually. Find me in the physics foyer from 0930 to 1100 ish.

To be fair, what teachers hasn't at some point idly considered beating a pupil over the head with a chair?

I think assisted dying is incredibly important - and that's why getting it right matters. For contrast, the referendum bill and phrasing was rushed and look how that turned out.

"Your film continues uninterrupted after this break." Umm, @AmazonVideo , I don't think those words mean what you think they mean.

Congratulations to the new group of IOP Scholars. Today we welcomed them to the National Space Centre for the launch of their Scholarship Programme. They met their @ogdentrust mentors and took part in activities ranging from fluorescing tonic water to magnetic levitation.

All six Tory leadership contenders have pledged to fight VAT on private schools. Not one of them has promised more money for state schools. And there you have it.

If you're a Kindle person, or know someone who is, you should definitely get this.

Doctors looking after elderly people who were later found to be in the last 6 months of life ordered & repeated radiology tests - a diversionary behaviour to avoid talking about dying? You know who you are. Or perhaps, more worryingly, you don't. Well done, @JoeHawk75825077

If the person you’re dunking on has a blue tick, they will literally be paid for the extra views your quote tweet gives them. Hope that illuminates the dynamics of this platform

Two days ago the obituaries editor came round and asked if I would like to write about someone who had done something important to do with platelets. With an inward sigh, I said yes. I prepared to write the worthy-but-dull obituary of Gustav Born. 1/n

A key difference between the so called 'illegal' asylum seekers in hotels and the people trying to burn them down is that only the latter have actually done anything illegal. It's not illegal to seek political asylum. It is however illegal to torch a building. You're welcome.
