For an academic there’s nothing more meaningless and wasteful than writing grants. Whomever claims to like the opportunity to spend months writing deliverables and risk mitigations should be shamed as a liar and a cheat. The right question should be sufficient for funding.

The last non-sciency tweet today if I may, it’s not OK to bomb neighbouring countries, then send tanks and kill thousands to occupy them? Also, can we stop pretending that nothing is happening and business is as usual, because once Kiev falls who’s capital is next?
