I've had numerous discussions with my Dad about why the EA is "useless". As I keep saying to him, it's not the staff it's the organisation itself. EPA is put in the same position too. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Can anyone give me any example of a centrally managed improvement process that has actually improved that which it was designed to improve? There must be an example somewhere. Currently living through a counter-example, and am trying to be positive.

the maples and cherries along the @My_Metro between walkergate and north shields are looking fantastic this year. #lowrailadhesion means you get to enjoy it even longer

Currently reviewing a paper by PhD student that has clearly not been read by any of the "advising" team. How do you politely say to the poor student that the paper needs _a lot_ of work while impolitely telling the co-authors to do their f!"£$ing job?

A nice way to mark mid-way through a suboptimal, thus far, year. science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

After weeks of my inbox being awash with requests/demands for me to do things I don't really want to do, today was blissfully quiet. Even better, final email was a student thanking me for explaining something. With that, I'll turn off my email for the weekend.

New paper, led by Matt Patterson, with @TomBracegirdle and @neiltlewis. We show that Antarctica acts as a topographic PV gradient for storms, helping to shape the split jet stream in the South Pacific in winter. doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D…

Time for a bit of me-tea-rology as we are under a lot of pressure right now. Boiling points are greater than 100 °C for most places thanks to super high pressure. A cuppa should therefore taste even more tea-tiffic than normal.
