@AstroMikeMerri 'Evolution by Jerks' except they ignored the jerks , and probably didn't cite them.

@rgpoulussen Have we already had Wyre Piddle? If you don't know where it is, it's just near Upper Piddle not too far from Upton Snodsbury

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

@ivana_evans @isisneutronmuon V pleased for you. I was meant to be on Polaris today for my first trip since 2018, but beam problems meant postponement. Sorry to miss catching up with you.

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

This you?

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

This reminds me, I'm still awaiting reviewers comments from @SciReports from the Matters Arising Article I submitted in Aug 2021. It's been undergoing peer review for over two years. So far.

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

Oh for fox' sake, @SciReports, this is embarrassing.

For nearly 10 years, I have been reporting image duplications. This should never have passed through your quality control.

You have a quality control, do you?

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

@ProfessorTanvir This is disturbing

[Robert Palgrave @Robert_Palgrave]

It’s hard to express the sheer and flagrant stupidity demonstrated by Michelle Donelan in her letter, calling for cancellation the UKRI EDI committee, matched only by the utterly craven response of UKRI and Dame Ottoline in immediately capitulating. 🧵

Battery science has lost a giant. It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Nobel Laureate John Goodenough. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

Peer reviewed publishing is often cited as a self-correcting mechanism. Two years ago I wrote a Matters Arising article to correct a v basic error in an Scientific Report.
And I've yet to receive any feedback at all. It's been under Peer Review for 14 months. Thanks @SciReports

29 years ago I saw Rage Against The Machine blow Glastonbury apart. I was an (occasionally angry) young man. And they were magnificently right.
Time passes, but this week I find RATM can still capture my mood perfectly: https://t.co/K837aO8g61

It was my pleasure to give the BTM Willis Prize lecture at TEMM yesterday. I’m really glad to have won this IoP/RSC Neutron Scattering Group early career prize and it was lovely to see previous winners in the audience. @PhysicsNews @RoySocChem @isisneutronmuon

@clairecorkhill @RoySocChem @CoRWM Many Congratulations Claire!

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

@BirkelChristina @ASU_SMS @rajh_tijana Many congratulations and well done! I'm really pleased to hear this.

@DAmabilino Except I've been waiting 18months for any response from @SciReports on a manuscript. So that clearly went into the Bermuda Triangle of publishing

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

This looks like it's going to be a great resource to support people getting into diffraction and Rietveld analysis. Thanks @johnsoevans et al at the Durham Rietveld School

[John Evans @johnsoevans]

New YouTube channel with tutorials on Rietveld analysis of powder diffraction data in TOPAS: https://t.co/5KmQhBiYxE
Based on examples from the last PDRR school held at @durham_uni @DurhamChemistry supported by @IUCr @britcryst @PhysicsNews @bruker

@ooobenblief @kermodeandmayo And it's got C3PO trying to exorcise the bike.

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

I submitted a very short Matter Arising article to @SciReports over Aug 2021. It was sent to referees in Jan 2022. I've yet to receive comments, and they've stopped responding to my emails since Feb. https://t.co/w9W0d99DR0
Has anyone ever had a worse publisher?

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

@stephenbirch @sheffielduni @SheffUniEng Thanks Stephen - it wouldn't have happened without the team (including you, and @HollandsLisa) in @msesheffield that made such things a priority

[Eddie Cussen @EddieCussen]

It's a highlight of my career that I nominated the amazing Kathleen Robert's for an honorary degree that she received today.@sheffielduni
She's one of the thousands of #WomenofSteel that kept foundries and factories going during WWII.@SheffUniEng

[The University of Sheffield @sheffielduni]

During World War II, Kathleen Roberts was working 72 hour weeks while being paid less than men doing the same job. Following her campaign to get the city’s Women of Steel recognised, Kathleen has been made an Honorary Doctor of Engineering at 100-years-old this afternoon.
