Following my recent interviews with passengers and crew on flight
#BA009 (where all four engines failed in 1982), here is my advice for those on flight #SQ321. 🧵
21 May 2024
Singapore Airlines flight #SQ321, operating from London (Heathrow) to Singapore on 20 May 2024, encountered severe turbulence en-route. The aircraft diverted to Bangkok and landed at 1545hrs local time on 21 May 2024.
We can confirm that there are injuries and one fatality on board the Boeing 777-300ER. Singapore Airlines offers its deepest condolences to the family of the deceased. (1/2)

Having a great time at the @vmsg_uk 60th anniversary meeting. So great to see colleagues - my first in-person post-pandemic conference. And the first presentation of our #BA009 research!

🏃♀️All women and girls deserve to feel the benefits of being active.
We all have a responsibility to provide opportunities for participation in sport and physical activity, and removing barriers, is ket to encouraging women and girls' participation.

This is utterly embarrassing from the presenter. Good on Mick, “Richard, why don’t you interview yourself.”
Repeatedly spouting the same nonsense and talking over someone is not grilling an interviewee.

Duncan is underplaying his accomplishments here.
Having three books, 21 published papers and four supervised PhDs within six years of your PhD is outstanding. Not too long ago he'd have been offered a Chair for this sort of stuff, not left to burn out on precarious contracts.

Professional news: my contract at Leiden ends this month so I'm leaving academia. I'm good at my job. I publish a lot (3 books, 21 articles/chapters), got great teaching evaluations and supervised 4 PhDs since finishing my own in 2016. It's not enough though.

We've been on our new @UniWestScotland campus at Lanarkshire for a few years now but I still frequently stop in my tracks to admire how lovely it is, particularly when it's all festive and glittery😍 What a wee treat of a place to come to work ❤️
