Maca's husband. Matty's dad. Researcher. Lecturer. I'm passionate about family, science, and technology. I believe in a free internet and FLOSS principles. All posts, opinions, and endorsements—if any—are my own and do not reflect my employers' views.

Here’s a quick #Introduction. i’m Liam and live in the #UK

I have a variety of interests including gaming ( #Hearthstone, #Warcraft), TV ( #Babylon5 #ThickOfIt ) and #DigitalMinimalism (yes really - I realise the irony there). Also quite partial to a bit of #meteorology

Anyway feel free to drop me a follow and say hello and all that jazz.

Most people in brightly lit countries probably take for granted that clouds are bright at night, but this is completely unnatural. You can see it better in this pair of photos we published in a later paper (titled "Red is the new black"): https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21559.x
