Pleased to announce I have accepted a Professorship at Rutgers, to begin January 2027. Looking forward to setting up my lab there and working with some excellent colleagues. We will miss Scotland and the UK, as we also still miss AUS. But after 18 yrs overseas, it will be nice to finally come home.

I PB'd at 3:08.13 in 200 SCM Breaststroke at Scottish Nationals two weeks ago. I took the gold medal in my age group (1 of 2 competitors 😂; hey...I'll take it!). I did manage to swim faster than some 20- and 30-somethings though. Gotta break that 3:00.00 barrier!
