Half way through a remote conference talk the power goes out at the venue and now I'm worried it was because of something I said

My somewhat cynical take on bullies in academia is that they’re a feature, not a bug. I touched on this with an earlier tweet, but the qualities we commonly associate with “top scientist” in academia are extremely present in the kinds of people who bully others.

We held our annual JBCA science internal symposium SKA Observatory a few weeks ago. It was our first fully in-person meeting since 2019. Great to see the wide breadth of research our groups are conducting. Already looking forward to 2023! Photo courtesy Anthony Holloway

Are cycle paths not generally gritted Sustrans North @OfficialTfGM ? The Fallowfield Loop in Manchester, a popular cycling route, was treacherous this morning. I saw one guy who'd had a nasty fall on the ice by Sainsbury's and was waiting for an ambulance - not good.

Despite having the best data ever, our field is now celebrating writing papers in a few days?? Meanwhile these paper sit in the referee inbox for months and people cannot keep up with the arXiv. And then we dare talk about mental health / worklife balance to the young folks??

I find it mind boggling that we can measure merging supermassive black holes in distant galaxies using pulsars in own galaxy! So much cool physics here.

A huge amount of work goes into building a cycling community, bravo Anna! Station South Cycling Club is awesome (I am biased), join us if you're Manchester way
