Replying to @EDI_Airport
@EDI_Airport landed from Beijing at 6:23. Half an hour to get to “gate” as none available. Still waiting on luggage starting 75 minutes after touching down. Welcome to Scotland.

@ThisIsEng delighted to be attending the “This is Engineering” event at the Royal Academy of Engineering @RAEngNews. Exciting, plus a self-driving car parked outside to geek me out.

A very interesting and engaging session. Lots of questions (and some answers). One certainty-there is a lot to do! Thanks @St_AInnovation for the invite.

Great day hosting the @EPSRC Energy and Decarbonisation team (and other EPSRC colleagues) @UniStrathclyde @TIC_conferences to discuss our strategies, challenges (lots) and opportunities (lots). Hoping @UKLabour will support us in transforming our ideas into reality!

Listening to a podcast with @Peston. Playing it at 1.5 speed and sounds just about right (still a wee bit slow). It’s good by the way 😃

⁦@EngineerLondon⁩ care to comment? It’s dark but I think OHLs must be insulated. Quad with all three phases plus earth bundled.

She also mentioned how she is keen to seek funding for more PhDs, which is of course great news. However, actually recruiting the PhD candidates (in many Engineering disciplines) is a challenge that doesn’t seem to be receding.
