@CHarris25972994 We're due a global recession (they happen ~every 10 years). So what will trigger it? This? Brexit? Trump? Theresa May? One of several other options?

If you're working on anything that involves how surfaces interact (friction, wear, lubrication, surface engineering, contact stresses) then check out TriboUK for a chance to meet others & share ideas at a PhD level conference

This is the world’s smallest #Christmas card, made here at NPL. You could fit more than 200 million on a single postage stamp!
