At @spie.org quantum catalyst meeting in Boulder. A great great meeting (very little power point!) and a couple of great days walking too:)

A wonderful day out in the Ayrshire Alps. Thanks to Nikolaj’s slipstream!

Cycled out to Wemyss Bay today. The station really is a masterpiece (it has a very very good cafe too!)

An almost perfect waterfall ?

@spie.org some of our new Directors:)

Ness Glen walk - a Victorian relic - but a nice one

I went for a Glorious Gravel ride yesterday:)

Loved this at the @royalsociety.org today - look no hands ! Trapping particles using ultra sound

Writing again with Anton Muscatelli @uofgvc.bsky.social and Maria Delgado @mmdelgado.bsky.social. This time looking at how we must strive to design a process to maintain diversity within the next REF exercise. The risk of unrepresentative REF returns hasn’t gone away wonkhe.com/blogs/the-ri...

A gravel bike ride around Glasgow. Cake / hills / architecture - what’s not to like ?

Lovely to be speaking in Limoges - super workshop too! Thank you for the invite, questions and chat! www.cryst3.com/quantum-in-p...

The “Sir Walter Scott” 125 years of pleasure cruising on Loch Katrine @lomondtrossachs.bsky.social simply wonderful - thank you 🙏

I always wanted to go and check out the ruin of St Peter’s Seminary- and finally I did. Well worth the trip!

A rather magnificent creature a Drymen show

Goodbye Ottawa - thank you !

Celebrating 💯 years of quantum here in Ottawa- speaking about the work of @qusit.bsky.social.

Great cycle adventure today coming back from nr Aberfoyle to Glasgow via Loch Lomond ferry:)

Great day again at Scotland’s Etape (cycle event) - thank you Andrew, Jonathan and Richard.

Took my bicycle out upto and around Loch Katrine today. Another peachy day - great little cafe - even better bacon roll !

National Cycle Route 7 back home from the weekend

Fantastic bike ride up and round Glen Lyon today

Is really interesting working with you both seeing the problem through different disciplinary lenses.

The unintended consequences of decoupling outputs from their authors - portability, fairness and diversity. wonkhe.com/blogs/portab...

A few days in Lisbon - it might be my favourite city :)

Super ride around the Clyde estuary yesterday. Up over the Rest and be Thankful to Dunoon - back over on the ferry and bike home.

A faultless Sunday morning in Scotland ?

Out for a Sunday morning bike ride. For a big city, Glasgow’s access to the great outdoors is second to none in the UK?

eight-critical-questions-for-the-new-chief-executive-of-ukri. Fun as ever to write with @uofgvc.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Louise and Chris flying the UK quantum hubs flag @spie.org Photonics West - the world’s premier optics meeting from the world’s largest optical society

Living in Scotland is just fantastic- a short walk up Ben An and then a cycle ride home. @lomondtrossachs.bsky.social

It was indeed a pleasure - I hope people are stimulated by reading as much as I found it to write it with you

The Devil’s Pulpit - I’d lived in Glasgow for over twenty year before I knew it was even there (13 miles north)

From coffee stop to cake stop - the wonders of living in Glasgow :)

That was fun! Thank you @johnmdudley.bsky.social and Scholargoggler.com

I know tubeless tires are “better” and these only took me two hours to fit…..😱 (had unwittingly damaged the rim tape). On the bright side I now have more grip more compliance and, even more importantly, tan side walls:)

Walking home - I wonder if we’ll have more snow this season

Cycling to Aberfoyle. Sometimes when you go the wrong way you get a view you didn’t expect - motto for life?

I know people have mixed views on the merits of Clarivate’s identification Highly Cited Authors. Either way, I’d like to thank my research group and our collaborators for the last (subject normalised) decade - together we wrote papers that others liked :) clarivate.com/highly-cited...

A gentle reminder!

Was a privilege to speak to the latest cohort of Royal Society research fellows - you are all so special - have confidence in your ability to change the world - but never lose sight of the privilege you have. Thank you for an inspiring day
