#MangoMussolini's absolutely BIZARRE "North Korea style" ass-kissing cabinet meeting where for two hours, they go around the room so everyone can tell the #NarcissistInChief how wonderful he is and what a fantastic job he's doing. 😱 (No wonder he thinks everyone loves him.) #BSC 🦇 💩 😜

The #CaptBoneSpurs administration has fired or reassigned 16 top military officials who dared contradict him (like his #BSC claim we "obliterated" Iran's nuclear weapons program when all evidence shows we merely set them back a few months.)

6 of the 16 are women. Yes, less than half. But what percentage of military leadership positions are held by women? #MisogynistInChief

T**** is a Conspiracy Nut. That's why he loves fellow Conspiracy Nut #RFK.

When you are #BSC and think you know more than thousands of trained & experienced scientists, a letter from 750 "#DeepState" #HHS employees means nothing to you. 😒

Loose Ends of the Academic Year…

I know most people outside academia thing university staff are on a long holiday between June and September, but that’s not the case. This week we have been trying to sort out some of the loose ends of Academic Year 2024/5 before we start on planning for 2025/6. The matters to be dealt with include undergraduate, taught postgraduate, and research posgraduate.

To start with I’ve had to mark my undergraduate repeat (resit) examinations. The grades need to be checked and uploaded before the appropriate examination board meeting next week. That will resolve a number of progression issues, as well as hopefully allowing some students to retrieve credit from their final year and thus be allowed to graduate.

Another set of tasks related to our taught MSc students. They submitted their dissertations on Monday which now need to be read and graded before another examination board (next Monday). They also have to do their presentations, which take place this Friday (15th August).

The following week, the School leaving certificate results come out, at which point we’ll start to get some idea of how many students we will have entering the first year in September.

Today I heard that my PhD student Aoibhinn, who passed her viva voce examination way back in May, has had her thesis corrections formally approved. She now has to submit a bound copy of the thesis along with an electronic version thereof by September 6th at the latest. Then her degree has to be approved by the Faculty of Science & Engineering (on September 16th) followed by Academic Council on (29th September). Assuming those formalities are observed, she can receive her doctorate at one of the conferring ceremonies at the end of October.

Another thing I heard today is that Aoibhinn has been awarded a prestigious research fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation but she needs her degree certificate before she can start. That’s a stricter policy than elsewhere, but it is Germany. It’s a bit frustrating, but that particular loose end will definitely be tied soon enough, after which Aoibhinn will be off to Germany for two years. Fortunately the start date of the fellowship is flexible. Congratulations to Aoibhinn!

Congratulations, Dr Gallagher!

This week is off to a good start! This morning my postgraduate research student Aoibhinn Gallagher passed a viva voce examination on her thesis Cosmological Structure Formation Using Wave Mechanics…
