Ah crap I've ruined my streak. Failed to get my post in before midnight so I guess I've not blogged every day now. Dammit! Oh well, this evening I unwinded with the epidemiologists in my office by drinking

Nothing scares me more than a prominent tech person wading into the vaccination waters. I realise that its a hyper specific fear but you'd be surprised how often this happens. Here's Dan Larimer on twitter

Spectacularly unproductive day today (I'm probably ill). Still I have three hours of research methods content to plan for tomorrow morning so tomorrow is as good a time as any to deploy The Red Envelopes.

Someone thought that today would be a good day for them to reach out and try to offer me their paid thesis writing service. This is a thing BTW, you can now pay a company to write your PhD for you. Thanks

Happy state sanctioned sleep deprivation day everybody!! Ugh, I hate this daylight saving bollocks. Its nice to have a some daily light in the evening but it did feel like I woke up at around 4am this

Today I experienced the three words that strike fear into every Englishman: Replacement. Bus. Service. Ah the fun of travelling back to London on a Sunday afternoon. Also the bus driver lost his keys and

Still back home in The Shire visiting the parents. Its basically like going back in time to the 90's, terrible phone signal and patch internet. I love it, it just what I need right now! Took loads of great

And its back to The Shire to see the parents for the weekend. A nice escape and unconditional whisky for a couple of days. Lovely stuff. I doubt there's many of us in the country tonight that are voluntarily

Survived my morning lecture but I was certainly cutting it fine with this one today. An hour and a half this morning was not enough time to plan a decent 3 hour session. That's week ten done now though,

Pretty standard day. A bit of teaching and then a whole load of banging my head against a paper that I'm trying to get published. It's a systematic review and I'm trying to see if I can avoid extracting

Hey cool would you look at that, I’ve posted everyday now, for a month! I decided to do this daily blog thing for two main reasons, first is for of the @actifit bonus. This combination of fitness app

On Saturday I described the anti-Brexit march in London as "a metric shit tonne of people" and "a pretty big protest". I made sure to hedge my bets that day as I know just how contentious

To not going to lie, today was basically a full day of being hungover, eating crap and watching Netflix. Left the flat to get more snacks, but it was all too nice and wholesome out there so hurried back

Today I successfully exercised my democratic right to protest and joined a metric shit tonne of other pissed off people like me to protest this insane position our government has put us in. With a matter

This evening was the first time in about a month now that I've been relaxed and not had a solid ball of stress knotting up my stomach. Sadly it came at the cost of cancelling all my weekend plans. But

Today broke me a bit, so after the mornings lecture I spent some time wandering around London and finally ended up at parliament. It's an exciting and terrifying time to be a brit at the moment. If anyone

Another long and tiring day that's likely very dull to read about in someone's daily blog. Today was mostly marking lab reports. Then a bit of reanalysis of my data in which I worked out how to conduct

All of yesterday's problem are now solved! Thanks to a little help from my dear friends Sugar and Caffeine: Well all the problems to do with the paper at least, I still have to go through life as anxiety

If you have a job where at the end of the day you know whether you’ve done a good or a bad job, I am envious of you today. Today was a day that just didn’t quite work. The lecture I was planning didn't

Today I had to do, what I refer to as, a hard reset. I've been over-clocking my brain recently and today it seemed to take its toll. So it was back to bed, watch the new Star Trek, watch a really sweet
