Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

After 3 broken trains, and 2h delay, I’m finally in Delft for the MicroNano conference. If you’re around, in the afternoon I’ll give a talk on “uncommon microfluidics” . Which, you know me, it is mostly 3D printing :)

Unless “didn’t do” here means “didn’t make functioning lab tests like she claimed”, I don’t think this is a problem Holmes will have.

Experimentals so fine
NMR tables
I've made a few
I've had my share of plans scooped in my face
But I've come through (and I mean to go on, and on, and on, and on)

We write the patents, my friends
And we'll keep on writing 'til the end🎵
