The “tandem pairs” that were supposed to develop research together are now cheating on each other with other researchers. Private and work life have become intertwined and families often barbecue together. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon and the ground is covered in a thin laye

An ordinary toilet flush uses around five litres of water. The water used is the same a
