Okay. This will be a long night. As a lot hangs on whether the FDP and/or BsW can get over the 5% hurdle. Talk to you later.

First results at around 5:00 p.m. UK time. Then we’ll know whether those who bleated into poll phones “This time I’m voting AfD!” really meant it. Everything around and above 20% would be a huge victory for the AfD and further complicate coalition building. #GermanElections

Oh, my boss pushed me over the line 😊! Thank you so much @emmaspary.bsky.social for helping me reach the £1k for @cancerresearchuk.org. And for your unwavering belief in my ability to finish that damn trek. I (and we all) did it! Doing a little happy dance ... #Cancer #Research #WomanOnAMission

Thanks to you (and so many lovely colleagues, friends and family) I'm at £962.56 for my @cancerresearchuk.org £1k fundraising target. Just heard a close childhood friend got diagnosed with cancer. The prognosis is dire. So I shed a few tears. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ruths-c...

I can't remember a general election in Germany that has been more important than this one. As "Auslandsdeutsche" of more than 25 years I'm not allowed to vote anymore (and I understand the reasons behind this ruling), but it's good to know that these votes will get there in time and count.

My highlight of the day: meeting with senior academics in our Engineering Department to discuss the #Researcher Development Concordat. Always good to see what's working well, what challenges we face, and what solutions we can co-create. Thank you for the invitation, @sophie-williams.bsky.social

Being a #mentor is such a privilege. It's one of the most important things you can do at work. I'm saying this because I know that often, mentees worry too much about "being a burden" and "needing time with busy people" Quite the opposite. If you want a mentor, don't hesitate to ask.

I've been complaining all week about the long, dark, cold winter in Britain. But then you watch The Åre Murders and realise: what we have isn't even winter. Swedish winters are proper winters: Snow storms. Ice. Frost. Cross-country skiing. Volvos. Winter tyres. www.netflix.com/watch/817528...

We are SO lucky at Leeds to have stellar postgraduate researchers like Marianne Talbot. Our collaboration is precious. TY to Dr Karen Hinxman for the interest in / support of our project. What is the experience of doing a PhD later in life for someone who has already had a successful career?
