About SPTR
This website, sptr.net, was for some time the home of physics teaching resources in Scotland. It used to look like this. Having owned the domain for over a decade, I’ve decided to keep it for its simplicity (four consonants are easy to spell over a phone line), and to re-purpose it as my new “home” page.
Here you will find a kind of portal, with links related to the kind of work that I’ve been involved in since I stepped down from my job as lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in April 2024. This work includes pleasure and physical fitness, as well as intellectual pursuits, research and image-making, some of which you can see aspects of here.
Although this will be more of a thinking space for me than it will be entertainment for others, you are free to visit and read, of course. If you want to interact or comment, then please do so, preferably in person. SubStack is probably the best online channel to reach me, although I’m trying Bluesky to see if it’s the platform or the people that wreck spaces like that. So far (December 2024, after 3 weeks), it’s looking OK.
Thanks for dropping by.
