Some university students simply don't care that much about their degree. It's something I've noticed for a while. Maybe they fall into it, or are going to university because they can't think of anything better to do. Maybe they started out filled with enthusiasm but lost…

Very interesting...glad I've been thinking of including this technique in modules next academic year.

Lovely to have a Skype meeting with @NDeanMarshall and @jane_morg and Anna Maria Di Betta. Keep on keeping on Nikki!


Very interesting discussion this, fellow word nerds!

For the first time, the Pint of Science festival comes to Swansea! Three venues, three nights, a whole lot of mind-blowing stuff from brilliant local scientists - with a pint in hand, of course! More info here: bit.ly/2rvxawd

Just had to lose a participant's data because he had a fit of giggles. Who knew pseudohomophones were so funny!


Marking is never fun, but sometimes it gives you ideas for projects...


Seems Twitter ain't going anywhere. Better get on it
