Trying to do something interesting with luminescent compounds, most usually with metals in them. Often failing. "Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

Lovely to see Kirsty Smitten remembered in this way. I am sure she would be the first to congratulate Mustafa if she was still with us. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Sad to hear that my former colleague, co-author, and all round NMR expert Prof Brian Mann has recently died. His claim to fame in bioinorganic chemistry research was kick start research into metal complexes as CORMs. RIP

True but academic output (research and students) is the production of a U. Of course you and I donโ€™t control the means of that production but each additional layer of bureaucracy/#bullshit jobs means we (+ our existing colleagues) become precarious workers and hence zero hour contracts appear

The only income generation in University comes from research grants or teaching fees. These income sources are generated by academics. In this context I have absolutely no beef with administration, just with its unnecessary proliferation.

I have always done those things and continue to do them myself.

I have been at the same University for close to 30 years now. What I have noticed is the absolute number of staff that only exist because of academics' work has been biggest growth area. Many exist to "advise" me how to do my job.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.
