Devastating news that Eleanor Maguire has passed away. She was my mentor for many years. She was a wonderfully thoughtful and kind person and a brilliant scientist. Her research inspired so many of us and her legacy of incredible discoveries will continue to inspire far into the future. RIP Eleanor

Advice wanted - at the old place I ended up following politics, sport and academia all on the same account. It stopped me from posting at all because I didn’t want to post on incompatible subjects. Shall I start a new account for each topic or is there a way to divide up my account here?
