Really excited to deliver another year of the 2025 UW0005 / CPD1640 University Wide Module in Sustainability, open to students, staff and the general public.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

After reviewing over 200+ manuscripts as a journal editor, I've noticed a pattern: papers that combine robust research with clear writing get accepted 3x more often than those with equivalent research but poor presentation.
17 genuine bits of advice for research paper writers
(I wish someone told me about number 10 earlier)
1. Active voice sells ideas better than passive
2. Your first draft should be awful → that's normal
3. Live for your own truth, not for other scholars' approval
4. Write the methods section before researching
5. Figures and tables matter more than word count
6. Break complex ideas into simple formal language
7. Citations should taste of truth → use them thoroughly
8. Your abstract is your paper's movie trailer
9. The discussion isn't a results remix → it must add value
10. Tables whisper wisdom that paragraphs shout gruffly
11. No one reads your paper start to finish → design for skimming
12. My best writing happens between 10 PM-1 AM
13. Your title is not unrelated to your citation success
14. Tweak tenaciously → cut 30% of your first draft
15. Strong verbs always beat fancy adjectives
16. Make text-to-speech AI your read-aloud buddy
17. One paragraph = one idea (no exceptions)
(This is exactly how I get quality papers accepted in quality venues)

What should you call your academic event?
Another great flowchart from PhD Comics.

In 1949, the famous mathematician Kurt Gödel found a solution to Albert Einstein's field equations of general relativity that described a rotating universe. This solution is known as the Gödel Universe. One of the intriguing aspects of the Gödel Universe is that it permits the existence of closed timelike curves (CTCs). Closed timelike curves are paths in spacetime that, if followed, would allow an object to return to its own past. In other words, it suggests the possibility of time travel within the framework of general relativity. Gödel's solution involves a universe that is rotating on a large scale.
The matter in this universe is in a constant state of rotation, and its rotation generates a frame-dragging effect. This means that the fabric of spacetime itself is being twisted by the rotation, causing a sort of dragging motion for nearby objects. The presence of CTCs in the Gödel Universe arises due to the unique nature of spacetime curvature caused by the rotation. The paths of particles or light in this universe can form closed loops, allowing for potential time travel. The existence of CTCs in the Gödel Universe is purely theoretical and still a subject of debate among physicists. Time travel to the past, as allowed by CTCs, raises many paradoxes and logical inconsistencies, such as the famous grandfather paradox. These paradoxes challenge our current understanding of causality and the nature of time.

The following identity, sometimes called Nicomachus's theorem, states that the sum of n cubes is equal to the square of the nth triangular number, i.e., the square of the sum of n natural numbers from 1 to n.

Here's the proof: x³-1=(x-1)(x²+x+1) and this number is composite unless x-1=1 ⇒ x=2 and x³=8

The best place to relax is near water.
After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass.
Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.
