A full-time, open-ended lectureship in Ancient History at Leeds! It's a different department to me but your duties will still include being asked interminable questions about ancient weirdos by me, your colleague with a healthy interest.

Beer people! I'm on the hunt for proper British-brewed lagers. What do I mean by proper? One, it’s fermented with an actual lager yeast, not ale brewer's house yeast. Two, it’s been lagered for at least 20 days. So, y’know, it's actually a lager. Have some in mind. Just checking if I missed any?

I ran a knowledge exchange for 30 PhD and EngD students from Bristol in Jan. This is a great write-up by the organisers. Its a valuable format to bring students together to talk about things they often get stuck on like attending conferences, publishing, using labs www.bristol.ac.uk/composites/n...

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

Enjoyed presenting some scattered thoughts at the launch of Philip Howell's book 'Pub' (Bloomsbury) - a great pocket paperback exploring the components and relationships that can go into shaping this complex place. A very accessible mix of history, politics, and anecdote.

Universities are major employers. This is a huge blow for the community as a whole, especially somewhere within a large rural area like Bangor.

Are you an indie bottle shop with e-commerce or online beer retailer? How would you feel about being featured as a recommended supplier in national newspaper articles? Could be an ongoing thing - I need to tell lots of people where they can buy a certain beer. Lemme know if interested in featuring.

Very interesting. I'm not sure binge drinking is a thing of the past but I hadn't heard about zebra striping or damp drinking and I love both terms!
