My first day not being Vice Dean anymore! (Spent all day doing Vice Dean work...)

Why do reporters ignorant of science continue to think they have to comment on science? Roll a die once, and you don't know what will come up. Roll a die 100,000 times, and we know pretty well the ratio of results. If you don't know the basics, stop commenting.

Oh no - Samuel Pepys is X'd. Such a shame.

Brilliant!

Got to love Matt Damon.

Niklaus Wirth died earlier this month. I just found this picture – dinner with him in Aarhus, 2002 (before I had grey hair!), at the ITiCSE conference, where I had the pleasure to introduce him for his keynote. He was not only a brilliant man, but a kind, modest and gentle one.

The Times really clarifying the data with a graph!
