    The woman working on the till at Sainsbury’s this morning complemented me on my bag packing. I have been seeking validation on this front for YEARS.

    Every time I see The Spy Who Loved me I am delighted anew when we get to the greatest line in movie history [James Bond is posing as a marine biologist, and someone tells him to enjoy his holiday]. His reply: “Where there is an ocean, a marine biologist is never on holiday”

    Very pleased to say that I have been appointed as the new Director of the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience @UCL_ICN @UCL. There are some pretty big shoes to fill, not least those of @profgeraintrees and @NeilBurgess10, and I am really looking forward to this opportunity!

    The hokey pokey, as sung in the US, not only is hokey pokey and not Hokey Cokey (uk version) but omits THE ENTIRETY of the oooooooooo the okey cokey chorus. It goes Left leg in, out, shaken, hokey pokey turn around, that’s what it’s all about AND STRAIGHT INTO THE NEXT VERSE.

    Jocelyn Bell Burnell built a radio telescope in a field and used it to discover pulsars. At school, her parents had to campaign for her to be allowed to study science, as she was a girl.

    I was delighted and honoured to be awarded a CBE and now I'm crying a great deal over this message from Dr Bond, the first scientist I ever met and my headteacher at @WestholmeSchool
