I’m excited to be advertising for a postdoc position supported by my @UKRI_News FLF! The position will be focused on doing kinetic simulations of magnetised, weakly collisional plasmas, aiming to understand their exotic properties. More details here: https://t.co/aWb9eBXYQu

@ASchekochihin It’s finally published! Here’s a link: https://t.co/Suy1u0DrrC. My thanks to the JPP editor and peer reviewers for their feedback on the paper.

Some days/years I thought I would never manage it, but I’m thrilled to say that our paper on the validity of classical transport theory in collisional plasmas is finally out (https://t.co/LtUVPOzvFi)! It's very long (a feature - see below), so here's a shorter summary thread. 1/

I am deeply grateful to @ASchekochihin and Steve for their encouragement (and hard work!) on this paper – I couldn’t have done this research and written it up without them. 14/

Might there be such a thing as a universal collisionless equilibrium? Maybe, and complete with a power-law tail too (that's an Easter egg for NTPA obsessives and kappa distribution aficionados). Be it as it may, stat mech is fun. New paper by Robbie Ewart: https://t.co/eTgNPiDqN1

@_Jack_Halliday This is very exciting - it’ll be great to have you in Oxford :)

@DrKate_L I've submitted mine (just in time)! It'll be the first opportunity I've had to come to this conference for quite a few years - very excited :)

I’m excited to share our new paper “Perpendicular Subcritical Shock Structure in a Collisional Plasma Experiment”. We show agreement with two theoretical predictions for the first time in experiments at the MAGPIE facility. https://t.co/CnLgdIKlvd
