Marking Over Well, that wasn’t too painful. I’ve completed my marking duties. The fact that it has been pouring with rain most of the day made it easy to concentrate on this task. I was going to have a break for lunch, but I decided to keep on going until I was finished, though I did have […]

Leaving X I posted a couple of weeks ago about why you and your institution should leave X (the platform formerly known as Twitter). A few days ago the Royal Irish Academy used its BlueSky account to remind users that it issued the following statement last year – even before the launch of Grok’s child pornography engine: […]

Boulanger, Shostakovich and Rimsky-Korsakov at the National Concert Hall It was a great pleasure last night to be able to attend my first concert of 2026 at the National Concert Hall. It was a rainy evening in Dublin, but the auditorium was nevertheless packed. The only issue was that so many people were there, mostly with overcoats checked into the cloakroom, that it took […]

Marking Progress The last day of a week dominated by examination marking found me briefly back on campus to return the batch of scripts I have finished corrrecting and collect the next set (which, happily, is much smaller): There are 14 scripts in the pile for my second paper, for my 4th year Mathematical Physics module on […]

Marking Time Once More Lecturers at Maynooth University are supposed to be available on the telephone to deal with queries from students concerning their examinations. And so it came to pass that yesterday I was “on call”. Since I live in Maynooth, I decided to come into campus in case of a query so I could go to the […]

The Last of Teaching I’ve just returned to the office after delivering my last teaching session of 2025 (a tutorial on Differential Equations and Complex Analysis). I’m up to date with all my grading too, so I’m done with teaching for 2025. Yesterday we had our Physics Department Christmas Celebration, which was very enjoyable. We went to a restaurant […]

How magnetism might make galaxies… An important point is that primordial magnetic fields can have a large effect soon after recombination, so they might play a role in the formation of galaxies at high redshift which we are struggling to explain. At least - unlike some of the more exotic explanations that have been proposed - we know that magnetic fields actually exist...

Four Teaching Days to Christmas The week ahead is the last week of the teaching term at Maynooth and, since I don’t have any sessions scheduled for Friday 19th December, I will finish on Thursday 18th and take the Friday off. I don’t think there’ll be many people – either staff or students – around on Friday anyway. Tomorrow (Monday) […]
