Did my experiment work? No. But did I learn from it? No. But did it help me grow as a scientist? Also no.

Thoughts with the people of Izmir 🇹🇷 and Samos 🇬🇷. I still remember the terrifying experience of the 1999 Western Turkey earthquake of 7.6 magnitude. Dayan güzel Egem 💙

One of the most amazingly savage interviews you'll ever watch. She has no chill whatsoever. It's like watching someone's anxiety dream

The BBC are reporting that the data was in Excel but was indeed in rows (not columns, phew). HOWEVER, Public Health England used .xls format and not .xlsx which means they were limited to the pre-Excel-2007 limit of 65,536 (aka 2^16). Which is still breathtaking incompetence.

I don't know whats worse, the fact that this is an Excel error or the fact its a case PER COLUMN not ROW, what sort of person would set it up like that!
Matt Parker@standupmaths5 Oct 2020
When I first heard that cases were missing I thought “can’t be an Excel problem, the rows run out at 1,048,576 which is bigger than even total cases”. I never thought they’d have a case per COLUMN. Unbelievable. And yes: Excel columns end at 16,384 aka “XFD”.

You know things are getting to you and your partner when they decide to catch the drosophila in the flat, give you a crash course in their previous research & how to care for them and now might have a small breading program going on in the lounge.. #phdchat #PhDlife

Replying to @atrupar
"In Europe, they live, they have forest cities, they're called forest cities. They maintain their forest, they manage their forest. I was w/ the head of a major country, it's a forest city. He said, 'Sir, we have trees that are far more - they ignite much easier than California'"

I’m getting very fed up with this use of students as a political football, being blamed for everything, as though somehow they are all irresponsible – rather than, hmm let me see, those libertarian demonstrators in London yesterday.
