So sad to learn of the sudden passing of Malcolm Von Schantz. Malcolm was a real gentleman and an excellent scientist, so kind, supportive, clear and insightful. A huge loss to chronobiology and sleep science. RIP.

Research excellence is a nebulous concept. For example, in our case it doesn’t seem to encompass fixing a months-old leak in the PhD student room that has caused the power to be cut off at their desks. 🤷♂️

Prince Andrew's fall from grace is a never-ending saga - he's a perennial problem for the Palace
The Duke of York isn't a working royal, doesn't attend official events, and is rarely seen in public. He's been stripped of his duties and patronages, but is this enough?

This morning my ChatGPT quota was inexplicably exhausted.
It took a while but I pieced it together. Voice mode somehow got activated when I went to bed.
The bot then engaged in a 10 hour conversation with my snoring dog, answering questions the pup wasn’t asking and praising him for his insight.
