New published research from @DuncanOlly, @captain_ion and @Dr_Tom_Allen who investigated closed cell foams fabricated using pressure vessels - methods that haven't been explored for a long time! Sometimes the old ways are the best (Pickering emulsions being a great example) 👇

I recently heard someone say that deadline extensions represent a ‘slippery slope’...
A slippery slope to what? Compassion? Empathy towards other people? Recognising that there are a million major ongoing events that might mean people have other priorities in their lives? 😤

After carefully deliberating on the requests for a deadline extension, we have arrived at the difficult decision that we will not be extending the EMNLP 2021 paper submission deadline.

The Tories appear have been covering up the number of new cases in schools (because of elections?) and they seem to have lots of willing helpers on twitter. If things get out of control in a few weeks wait for the comments on tv, "poor Boris he did his best".
