I recently put up a link on social media to an article published a while back on “making room for autism” in engineering, and it seemed to get a lot of engagement. It’s the kind of thing which seems like an obviously good idea and, at a glance, suggests an obvious case of unfairness, as only 15% of adult autists are in employment. I would struggle to name another group with such poor employment prospects, never mind imagine what would happen in a ...
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. Oscar Wilde… And so, we see a changing of President in the USA and a (hopefully) more inclusive political agenda. At least I hope so. I have found the last four years of American politics surreal, and sadly more highlighting of the failings of democracy than it’s virtues. Newton’s 3rd Law of motion would seem as applicable in the political theatre in that for each reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction. #piimagnews
Having worked in applied fluid dynamics for over five years, initially in the commercial sector on industrial flows, and now within academia, I thought it would be a good time to reflect and share my experience on what could be achieved by applying Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). #piimagnews

Even before summertime hits, we have already seen some good BBQ weather, with the mercury rising and letting us enjoy the great outdoors. Great for you, but it doesn’t bode as well for your electrical equipment. At this point in the year, there probably won’t be any alarms on your cooling equipment and therefore you’re mind wanders to other important issues on your site which need more ready attention. Climate Control can wait… Right? #piimagnews
Maintaining hygienic, and in some cases sterile, production equipment is a key aspect of modern food processing, as well as the production of pharmaceuticals and other products. Cleaning-in-Place (CIP) is the standard technique to effectively and efficiently clean equipment which contains pipework, enclosed spaces and small apertures in situ. #piimagnews
