Clearly April fool's day at home. Have not seen anything as good for a while.

I was there early @imperialcollege for the 61st #Rankine Lecture. Always great returning to my alma mater and seeing friends and colleagues. Can't wait for Prof. Lidija Zdravkovic's (one of my PhD supervisors) lecture next year.

In academia, no matter how much you work, there will always be more that you can do:
-another paper to read
-more edits to the manuscript
-a new committee to serve on

The key is to recognize that *nobody* can do all they want to. Do what you can and know you're doing your best.

"We could feed some of the human beings to the animals." Something makes me think that any teacher would be fired for saying that at school independently of the context. But if the PM says it is okay then... Definitely not a joke.

There is no scientific reason why #Colombia is on the Red List when Brazil is not. The UK government should revise its #travel policy on Colombia immediately. Please sign the petition:
