@PostOffice Thanks Ben - absolutely it's a joint endeavor in many cases! If any post office branches happen to see these for sale though, it would be great if the hazards could be pointed out (e.g. https://t.co/D8kslHyCR8 )

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@PostOffice Please check to make sure these are not being sold in your branches, or ideally any stores in which your branches are situated. They are dangerous/do not meet UK standards. I pointed this out in a Sheffield branch now who promptly removed them from the display stand.

@ManlioTassieri Shh, I think Joey might have something to say about this, I gave them a foam tin literally from my back pocket!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@ManlioTassieri A string of great talks they were too!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@ManlioTassieri Also, impacts on astrophotography I believe too.

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@ManlioTassieri Certainly, much more thought should be given than just using white LEDs

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@ManlioTassieri And particularly bad for our insects, and thus environment!

And in some cases, when poorly made units are used, bad for radio frequency interference too I gather.

I have a few LPS lamps from when they were replaced on my street.

Very sorry to see Wilko go! The cheeriness will be missed, best wishes to the staff (particularly all those in my home town of Worksop). I still have the wooden spatulas from my undergraduate days! @LoveWilko

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

I'm not sure there will ever be anywhere quite like Wilko again! @LoveWilko

@jonty My colleague at the University Of Sheffield, Mark McIntosh, just recently came back from 6 months with BAS staff at Antarctica. Maybe your contact knows Mark? (Yet smaller world!!) Rang Mark on Whatsapp during the tech staff's Xmas do from Sheffield and I thought just the same!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@TubeTimeUS Is there any way to find out about these when they are/will be happening? I just got a notification now about it :/

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@CokeMaddy @bluedotfestival @NameProgramme @RoyceInstitute @LEGO_Group Ah yay, the Royce Institute stand is running again?

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@LwalkerCMU What operating system was the disk written on? I had a play with hooking a 5.25" drive up not so long back and have lent it out to help someone else recover data in the past as well! This series is very interesting too: https://t.co/etEFNnYNsk

Excited to be attending the #Mixing17 conference with Siddharth Patwardhan @GreenNanoRes - and my first ever flight carrying self-built electronics hardware on a flight!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@ManlioTassieri Hmm, I've not yet worked out how to best describe my work/interests to a general audience. Maybe that might be worth a try one day!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

One unscheduled upper stage separation of an attempt to print an excessively long experimental flow cell 😅

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

@Phillips32Tim @BritSocRheology That's a much better photo than I got further back in the room!

[Dr Richard Hodgkinson @DrHodg]

Wonderful to be a part of the #INNFM meeting with the @BritSocRheology, chat to so many knowledgeable people and be accepted onto the BSR council. Thanks too to everyone who offered kind comments on my fellowship project - I am honoured!
