When you finish a PhD in statistical mechanics they take you to a special room and tell you what entropy really is. After you recover, you’re sworn to secrecy, and are only allowed to give obfuscating explanations in your lectures.

There’s nothing quite like listening to your favourite song of all time (Blue Monday) being played live by the best band (@neworder) at your favourite place in the world (@jodrellbank). Thank you @bluedotfestival for the best night of my life so far, no exaggeration.

Colleague wears blue T-shirt with big EU flag in project meeting. Me: "You have to be careful. If you wear that in a lecture, you may get reported to ..." Colleague: "I've worn this in lectures! But I don't think Jacob Rees-Mogg will watch the podcast for Lagrangian Dynamics."
