I'm always up to my neck in equationsToday has all been about Statistical Mechanics tutorials and trying to show people how to be lazy and not bother remembering the thermodynamic potentials or the Maxwell relations and how easy it is to derive them all.
I got a very strange look from the lovely blonde girl in my group. I don't think she believes me.

Ahhh.I've been messing about with S = 1/2 polynomials for antiferromagnets. Jammy sod of a project student managed to get six new crystal structures in an eight week project. He's already got one paper out of it and now he's going to get a pretty good one, too.

What a bastardI've been in academia for years and I only have two papers. About five in the pipeline but there's still only two.
Kick him in the knackers for me, would you?

*hides own publication record*Wilco. One kick in storage for Monday.
Get into chemistry - papers aren't too difficult depending on where you go. F'rinstance, Acta Crystallographica Sect. E is only two shades up from bog roll.

NahI'll stick in theoretical physics. My career will die soon but at least I'll have done something *interesting* while it lasts.... :)
