Excited to work with a fantastic CI @jackie_sturt and team @siwatson on this programme grant to develop and test a new intervention for people with type 1 diabetes that might experience distress. The trial will use a STEPPED WEDGE RCT design.

Diabetes distress is what some people feel when they鈥檙e overwhelmed by the relentlessness of diabetes. This can make it even harder to manage the condition.

@jackie_sturt is leading a new study to spot, treat and prevent it.

Beautiful Physics!

The Dirac equation is a mathematical equation that describes how particles with half-spin, such as electrons, behave according to quantum mechanics and special relativity. It was discovered by Paul Dirac in 1928, and it predicted the existence of antimatter, which are particles with opposite charge to normal matter. The Dirac equation also explains why electrons act like tiny magnets and how they move in electric and magnetic fields.

great lecture on the history of Quantum Chromodynamics by Prof #davidgross @KingsCollegeLon! It has taken me back to the @ImperialPhysics @imperialcollege days , especially when you bump into your string theory tutor, prof K Stelle.
