É«ºÐÖ±²¥

I realise that the Times Higher Education Letters section is mainly for opinionated academics to vent their idiosyncratic views on world affairs, and you don¡¯t normally answer queries. But I have a burning question about Mr Keith Ponting (30), the ¡°intrepid reporter¡± of Poppleton. Assuming that ¡°number in brackets after name¡± denotes age, he has been 30 since at least 2012. What is his secret? Could it be that É«ºÐÖ±²¥ has failed to report a major scientific discovery of an age-stopping formula by the world-leading scientists, entirely funded by non-EU money of course, at Poppleton?
