Professor in chemistry - like shooting lasers and electrocuting stuff. Views are generally not thought through very well.

Could also just let old people accumulate wealth with no taxation, remove childcare access and make living costs so high you can't afford children until late 40s when it's a bit too late, and prevent access to family planning tools........🙄

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

A fantastic week at @eurobic18.bsky.social in Groningen! It was a great pleasure to present my latest research and also to help behind the scenes as part of the conference support team. This was also a very good opportunity to reconnect with friends, collaborators, and colleagues.

There is an inverse relation between the absolute confidence of an opinion on education (in science) and the actual level of knowledge of how to educate it seems. I think y =1/x is a good estimate.
