@UofGVC Anton, I worked with you for a while at Glasgow in the 2000’s. We absolutely need (political) leadership that rewards curiosity and bravery.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

@delredhead Done. Time to get scientific!

[Adele Redhead 🖤 @delredhead]

Calling all #archives folks… we are thinking of changing the name of the MSc at Glasgow. If you can spare 3 mins, could you fill out this form (and we’re looking at getting a view from everyone, former IMP or not). Thanks!

I'm thinking tonight about my friend @SarahRoams. God love you.

@WilliamKilbride Oh say DPC… by the dawn’s early light

First IDCC without Jones(e)y. Never did settle on the spelling. The Leonard Cohen lyric kept breaking through: "And now you look around you, you see her everywhere" - every time I saw the dark back of a tousled head in transit between session and break, I thought it was her.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

We were a good double-act, Sarah.

@torstenreimer @UChicagoLibrary I remember the first time I visited Chicago the weather forecast said “temperatures won’t get above zero today.” I thought that wasn’t too bad, until I realised they meant Fahrenheit…

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

@torstenreimer Amazing! Congrats Rachael, and great addition Torsten!

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

God rest you doll

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

We were a good double-act, Sarah.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

I had probably said something outrageous to get a cheap reaction. She loved that shit.

@oliphantly It’s not loud enough if you ask me. Affected residents should get a high-quality livestream.

Can hear yer actual Beyoncé’s voice drifting over the railway tracks from Murrayfield. Current tune sounds a bit like Purple Rain.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

@British_Airways That’s very disappointing, particularly given how much of the last three years have been impacted by Covid.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

@British_Airways Hi there. I’ve recently started travelling again after a period off (largely due to Covid) and I logged into my Executive Club account to find my 48,000 Avios have expired in the meantime! Is there anything I/you can do to get some or all of them back?!

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

@humphreyj @RoySocChem @ucl Thanks Jamie! It’s been a pleasure working with you and the whole RSC team.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

📣 STATEMENT KLAXON! 📣
Sad to say that today marks the beginning of my last week @RoySocChem, but very psyched indeed to announce that I’ll be joining @ucl (!) in April as Principal Data Steward/Head of Data Governance in Advanced Research Computing.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

At the same time I’m raring to get back to my home turf (in HE, I mean, although to be fair my dad is a Londoner) serving the servants of knowledge.

[Martin Donnelly @MKDonnees]

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my short stint at the RSC, and I’ve learned loads about Publishing: there really ought to be secondment schemes between publishers and academic libraries.
