    Got some new rechargeable batteries today - pretty much the only rechargeables I use.
    Impressed at the new non-plastic packaging. Hopefully better for the environment _and_ easier to use.

    Turns out infrared thermometers don't get the temperature of water right.
    Alerted to this when dying a shirt.
    IR thermometer said 85°C - while I wondered why the water was gently bubbling.
    Digging out a mercury thermometer revealed why - it was at simmering at 100°C.

    The shirt still seems to have dyed okay.

    Any physicist care to explain?

    Do you want to learn how to use data to manage and improve research?

    The Research Information Team at Cambridge University has a vacancy for a Research Information Administrator (closing date 8th May). It’s a great team that I used to work in, and now work alongside.

    Trying to work out the simplest way to find out if my team’s Windows permissions allow them to compile Stan models. Have assumed that compiling models is like compiling packages (is that a good assumption?)
    I've come up with:
    1. Install Rtools (cran.ma.imperial.ac.uk/bin/windows/Rtools)
    2. > install.packages("devtools")
    3. Find a small, intriguing package: BRRR
    4. > devtools::install_github("brooke-watson/BRRR", build = TRUE)
