@Ryanair you have rescheduled our flights but your online rescheduling tool will not permit us to confirm changes and book the new flights that we would like. What can you do to help?

Exciting new 3 year post doc opportunity with a talented member of staff (Mike Smith) on a project to work on particle tracking in dense vibrated systems. I would encourage anyone who is interested to apply. https://t.co/sG04D9FzG6

I've got an exciting PhD 3.5 year fully funded PhD opportunity (for home (UK) students), looking at how we can apply novel high entropy inspired crystallisation to the self-assembly of Quantum Dot films

@DrTonyPadilla Feel free to come and "liberate" as many snails as you can carry Tony!

The curious case of the spotty snail trail, part 2: this snail travelled at constant speed (it's my week off!) and yet the spotty trail is still there. I can feel an experiment brewing.

@MattBrookesMEG Thanks Matt! Can you 3D print a little hat for them? You would obviously need slots for the eyes (?!). Not sure how many meg sensors you could get on a snail...

Dear @AskNationwide, why are you asking me for details about my salary before you let me access my account/banking app. How is this any of your business?

Latest glass blowing efforts. These ones stand up on their own 😉

[James Sharp @JamesSSharp]

@ThePhysicsBear Not sure I want to go there again. Got a bit unpleasant last time! Lots of accusations of other people inventing data. I'm sure that you recall 🙂

[James Sharp @JamesSSharp]

Dear snail experts of Twi-X. This is Barry*. Does anyone know why its trail is made up of evenly spaced blobs? Is it stopping periodically to sample its environment, or is this some new, snail-based scram jet technology. Should I be worried? Asking on a friend's behalf.

[James Sharp @JamesSSharp]

And many thanks to the @LeverhulmeTrust who made this possible

Patterning adhesive interactions to control the formation of telephone cord blisters @UoNScience @UoN_Physics

[James Sharp @JamesSSharp]

@michaelpweir Adds to the professionalism of it all, I think!

[James Sharp @JamesSSharp]

Patterning surfaces with telephone cord blisters. Do you think I could/should be more subtle?
