@krishgm Mr Cummings is basically proving right then European Council President Donald Tusk when he talked about a "special place in hell" for "those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan of how to carry it out safely". Every DC tweet further confirms he didn't have a clue.

Rule One: Never believe this kind of rubbish. Good academic supervisors want their PhD students to outshine them at the end of their PhD. Few things are better than a PhD student explaining to their supervisor why they are right and the supervisor's hypothesis needs improving.

@darrengrimes_ Crafty, whatever the truth is - it's irrelevant. You made the truth irrelevant. Now alternative facts, lies, or maybe even the truth, come back to haunt you. Enjoy your own legacy.

Happy New Year. My plans for 2021: 1) survive 2) see my parents and siblings, whom I haven't seen for a year now because travel in times of covid is a bad idea.

According to my 5yo, my new name is Mr Stinkypants Bumface. I can't believe he gets my title wrong - did I do that PhD for nothing?

Three PhD positions available in Cardiff! We're looking for a pharmacist, a chemist and an engineer (this is not the beginning of a joke) to work together on developing biosensors & diagnostics.

@ZJAyres My signature line explains that my working hours are weird and that I don't expect a reply outside the addressee's working hours. This also addresses collaboration across timezones.

@AdrianMulholla1 @Researchfish @bedcatalysis @seis_matters @EPSRC Turns out this response is part of a pattern - have a look at recent replies from ResearchFish. An example below.

@CathNoakes @DrLeonBlack We understand that you're not keen on reporting on your funding through Researchfish but this seems quite harsh and inappropriate. We have shared our concerns with your funders.

@Big_____Ron @BrexitGuard @PaulBrandITV She would have prevented her own parents from moving to the UK. Anyone that disingenuous is fantastic in the eyes of the true brexiteer.

As a child growing up in the Netherlands, it was always obvious that we'd go everywhere by bike. I'd love to see my children being able to do the same in Cardiff. That is why we joined the @KidicalMassCDF bike ride today. #KidicalMassCDF

Wow, this is a great start to the day. Thank you so much to the @ChemistryCU students who nominated me for Enriching Student Life Awards. This means a lot to me. Thank you @CU_StudentVoice for organising #ESLA20 .

@Thomas_crash_ @Nigel_Farage I really hope for you that you never need healthcare while abroad, because what you want immigrants to lose, you'll lose on holidays. That could be a *really* expensive trip or slip.

@veen_els Ik heb in twee jaar geleerd dat 80-90% van de bevolking WEL voor elkaar opkomt, ondanks een kleine maar luide minderheid die liever vijf keer "IK" zegt dan aan een ander te denken. Bedankt meerderheid!
