This talk was in the Ray Dolby Centre (the new Cavendish lab) and doing chemistry demos in a new physics building is always a bit more complicated without dedicated prep rooms, technicians, etc😀

(I will be doing some IA lectures in the BMS LT from 2027, so plenty of time to prep fun demos!)

Very relieved!

Just checked, and over the last couple of months I appear to have received at least 10 messages from HMRC (via various means) suggesting I fill in my 24/25 tax return early but not a single reminder to pay today...

I think they do pay interest when you pay them early. And then it shows up as lots of random-seeming small amounts of money (one of these is 2p!) on the paperwork. I've given up understanding the details, to be honest...!
