Delighted to be participating in the @PGImetrology showcase event at @NPL in Teddington, 3 years after the last face-to-face #PGI event and exactly 5 years since I gave a seminar here, just after we'd announced our discovery of #GW170817.

All best wishes for the April/May exams to all of our students, at this difficult time. Up first this afternoon is my A345 Galaxies course! Remember all that amazing stuff we discussed in the lectures, that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away!.
Wishing all Honours, MSci and Masters students in the School of Physics and Astronomy the very best of luck for their upcoming exams. This is a challenging time, but we are all behind you @UofGlasgow @UofGSciEng .#QuaranTeamUofG #WeAreTogether .
