Spent the last hour helping solve quadratic equations for my son’s maths homework.
I knew my A-level maths would one day come in useful.
And it has.

A bit like spiralling publication costs we need to start having a proper discussion around lab equipment servicing costs. These are often completely disproportionate to the cost of instrument and the service that is provided and seem to serve as a cash cow for vendors.

Great to see this paper out www.nature.com/articles/s41... including Chris Moore of the Nottingham DeepSeq team. Chris took @nanoporetech.com Mk1Cs out to Columbia and sequenced chocolate. Coverage www.theguardian.com/science/2025... and institutions.newscientist.com/article/2492....
Scientists claim to have unlocked ‘secret sauce’ needed for fine chocolate
Results of studying cocoa bean fermentation in Colombia could pave way to manipulate flavour, say researchers

Real pleasure to be presenting at the @nanoporetech.com #WYMM event in Melbourne Australia today. Great to see the pores work equally well upside down. And at last - socks! Though I still think they should be the long sock… youtu.be/zxI-pcLj9XE?...

Just wish I knew what the actual question was… “FASTA, FASTQ and FAST5…” - fill in the blanks?
Didn’t expect to hear reference to FASTA, FASTQ and especially FAST5 on University Challenge last night! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iytr...

They said I’d be able to check my accounts more quickly… everything would be simpler. 15 minutes later - I still can’t see how much money is in my account. Could someone at a university tell me that this system gets better over time? Because so far… it’s exactly as bad as people said it would be.

Well - this is awkward. According to santatracker.google.com Santa is on his way. But according to Norad www.noradsanta.org/en/map he’s going to take off shortly. Something up with norad?

And so we reach the glorious time of year where authors try to push papers to editors to “get them off the desk” whilst editors try to clear their desks for the break. Referees try to rapidly return reports to editors and nothing will happen to anything for a good 10 days…
