How much time is wasted by research presenters telling us: 1. What they intend to present. 2. What they have just presented. This is the academic hill I’m prepared to die upon

When persuading the RCSI Pharmacy student to complete her project in University of Santiago de Compostela, did I say how beautiful the city would be? Yes Did I "forget" to tell her that she would spend part of her first week on a farm, collecting faecal samples from scouring calves Also Yes.

I had more than 3000 followers on my Twitter/X account. However, ever since its owner hitched his wagon to the Orange Clown, I’ve been using it less & less. The Nazi salute yesterday at the inauguration was the final nail its coffin for me. I deactivated & deleted my Twitter/X account today.

I found a loose sheet of proposals tucked inside a PhD thesis that I was reading today. While all were good, some were “more good” than others 😉

Tell me your new vet is Australian, without telling me she’s Australian. Me “How would my cat pick up a tapeworm?” Vet “She could easily pick them up from any lizards or geckos that she hunts!” 😳 (Note: I live in Ireland which only has one species of reptile, which is very rare)
