Measuring your Christmas lunch, scientifically

This Christmas to try and keep our scientific minds active and not despair at experiments lost but think to new experiments we can do. If we can’t do experiments in the lab let’s do experiments on Christmas!

Gift ideas for the research scientist in your life

Scientific holiday break

I have a fixed holiday contract whereby I get a certain number of days of holiday a year. Cranfield University are very generous and I get lots of holiday days to go do things other than research. However, this holiday system this year has been thwarted by two things. Firstly, Read more…
