The irreverent science writings of Matthew Partridge (MCeeP)
It’s been a busy few weeks here at ErrantScience! We’ve been publishing our regular blog posts and cartoons, preparing for the upcoming Norwich Science Festival (come see us on Saturday 26 October!), and some other pretty exciting stuff in the pipeline…! More to be revealed soon. A note about our Read more…
When I first started as a researcher I had a Sony Ericsson flip phone. The flip part was a piece of plastic that served no function other than to look cool when I answered the phone and cover the buttons in my pocket. It could take photos but these photos Read more…

This month we’ve had a range of different topics covered in our weekly blog posts, from lab-snacking to the joy of science. First, I looked back on the last 6 months since becoming a Doctor, reflecting on how some things in life have changed, and how some haven’t. Next, Matthew Read more…
