I don't want to alarm anymore, but there's a shop here at the airport playing Christmas carols...

This is going to be an awesome special issue.

It's awful what's happened to Teesside University's campus - a place of learning, positivity and fond memories. Am thinking of my @TeesUniSHLS friends and I hope tomorrow is not too upsetting.

Looking at the photos of Teesside University campus that @TeesUniSHLS friends are sending me. The mindless destruction is shocking. But it also reminds me that a university is not it's campus, but it's community. No doubt that's shaken, but for sure it continues to be as strong as ever.

Still a couple of weeks left to apply for this rare opportunity to lead our growing Department of Sport Science and Nutrition MUsportsciencenutrition Please get in touch if you have any questions about the role!

As a prof of anthropology I'm delighted that #DeadpoolAndWolverine kicked off with such strong #osteology content. And with more throughout. It's what we all want. Excellent work. No notes. Shawn Levy Ryan Reynolds

Still very much enjoying the view when walking through campus in the morning.

I'm just using pictures of MU Library Cat to boost my follower count...

Remarkably I'm now 3 months into my new job. It's been an exciting and challenging time, but I'm starting to feel like I'm making a difference. Hopefully a positive one... tjuthompson.com/anniversar-thr…

It's always nice to squeeze a bony conference in just before the start of term to give a bit of inspiration for my teaching. And it doesn't hurt that Leiden is absolutely delightful.

A couple of months ago, I published a paper on the potential impact of climate change on #forensic practice and I've now been interviewed as part of a piece for CBC News in Canada! How climate change could affect death investigations cbc.ca/news/climate/c…

It's an atmospheric commute this morning...

Been messing about with AI to make images for some class activities for my teaching this year. Asked it to create an image of 'Tim Thompson'. I think we can all agree that the result is uncannily accurate...

These blog posts are such a handy resource for CSoFS members. Have a look if you're in the midst of prepping for the new academic year.

A wonderful and momentous accomplishment.

One of the really nice things for me about working at Maynooth University in Ireland is that I am back working in the EU. Just finished my first meeting on the Education Board of the Arqus Alliance and looking forward to being an active part of this group.

There are some fab people at Derby so this should be a great job

So good to see the contributions of the brilliant Garrison Draper and Paul Chesterton in this important piece of work.

Absolutely amazing and well deserved! A superb team with exciting, real-world student-focused projects to engage with.

We have subject talks for our new Maynooth University students over the next couple of days. Thought I'd pop into the best one...
