New academic and worrying about all this #REF2028 stuff? Take my advice. Ignore it. Focus on doing your usual great, robust, impactful research. And be nice to people. That's it. Trust me, there are so many other people who will deal with the detail.

Superb new Engineers Gallery Science Museum, just opened. Inspiring to hear from these brilliant women whose engineering innovations save lives. Is there any problem they can't solve?

Wow. Talk about questions of life and death. That's what Newcastle University Alumni did this week at the McArdle Debate on Ageing. Fascinating range of views on euthanasia. But what if quality of life remained high right to the end?

Having fun talking about colours of lipstick, cricket balls, butterfly wings, bananas and rocks. Something for everyone at #leedscolourconference2023.

And what about the Princeton math students who rewired the elevator buttons in Fine Hall, and moved the office number signs to the rewired, otherwise identikit floors? Poor befuddled professors, seemingly locked out of their own offices.

Wonderful news: Sir Tim Laurence to be the new Chair of Trustees of the Science Museum Group. Under Dame Mary's leadership, the Group has made great strides in levelling up science education and aspiration across the north of England. Onwards and upwards, Sir Tim!

A proud son quite rightly tweeting about his Dad's brilliant work - and here's a proud colleague congratulating Newcastle University Roy "Twin-Cycle" Taylor too!

Eye-opening, the work by our 2024 Rank Prize for Optoelectronics winners. Thanks to them, we can see into the retina through the pupil, at speed and in high-res. And thanks to the Nutrition Prize winners whose work will make diabetic retinopathy less common.

And it’s up to Paul Paul Linton and the community to answer the question Mazviita posed: “What is consciousness for?”
