I see Kingston Uni are doing another round of 'necessary' job cuts on the teaching side.

If I could do one thing to improve my life right now it would be to magically stop people sending me screenshots of code instead of copy pasting it 😔

What's the German word for the sense of annoyance that you have a new experiment to try but there's 37 hours 45 minutes before you can get back to the scanner?

If you want me to review for your journal:
1. Don't send a request on a Sunday evening
2. Don't send a "reminder" 6 hours later on the Monday morning
3. Try using my name instead of "Dear XX". It's right there in my email address.
