You know when you get really thoughtful, insightful feedback from reviewers? It's so heartening😊 I wish I could chat science over a coffee with the mystery reviewer, who clearly knows interesting things. Please consider signing your reviews if you're in a career-safe place.

It is true. Just tested it myself. Google AI claims that Hungary (Ungarn) starts with H in German (which it isn’t, only true in English ) and that it is sometimes called Holland (which probably refers to the Netherlands). Nice demonstration how AI works … 😉

I miss the days when a seat on a quiet coach train gave you a good chance of a reasonably peaceful journey. Any chance we can get that back @lner.co.uk?

Conferences are great and all, but I remain strongly in favour of taking a little sanity break to yourself during the week. Stroll up a hill in the forest, find a monk selling jam who wishes you all the best with the microscopes 🥰🥰 Brain refreshed, and tasty toast ahoy

Strewth. One paper accepted, one paper submitted, and one permanent academic position confirmed in ink. I think that'll do for the week, I'm off to the pub 🍸
