Stephen RoyleToday's highlight (so far)
Data analysis task that was so enthralling, my cup of tea went cold.
#LifeOfPI I managed to set up a crossing to generate new #drosophila so the ERASMUS+ student starting in May could do their exp! Fingers crossed!
First two months of 2026 in #PeerReview
I've reviewed:
4 papers
3 grant applications
I've submitted:
1 paper
1 grant application
so I've “requested” ~6 reviews from the system.
So I'm in credit at the Bank of Peer Review so far.
The frustration of having to convert a (beautiful) LaTeX document into a MS Word document for a journal is offset by the zotero plug-in for Word. It's MUCH better than it used to be under v7.
Angus Davison81 x two thousand word mini dissertations marked in two days, think that's a #LifeofPi moment 😫😄🎉🥂
I hugely regret agreeing to review this paper.

Lecturing today. I know that pop culture references are hit-and-miss-but-mainly-miss when teaching a class of Gen Z folks. However, when ad libbing, they tumble out. I got away with a reference to "The Hunger Games" and De La Soul, but my mention of The Care Bears' Cloudmobile fell distinctly flat. Hey, it made sense to me at least.
