The ones I know of are Scrumble (Reuben) and Bebe (Hughes)! But there must be more, right?

I'm sure that we would all appreciate a run down of the college dogs. Surely there's space for @reubencollege.bsky.social's beloved Scrumble!

Oxford physicists set new world record for qubit operation accuracy | Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operationβ€”just

Oxford University scientists have published research on how they have achieved new levels of quantum computing accuracy, of one error in 6.7 million operations, by using a calcium ion qubit. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2025-06...

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Most people have heard already but I was fortunate enough to win an EPSRC fellowship to bring trapped molecular physics to Oxford!

Had a glorious autumnal walk in Durham this weekend... Aykley Head, Aykley Woods, Hopper's Wood, the ancient path broken by the railway and down across the former Frankland brickworks. All with the napping wee one attached of course.
