John Humphrey Plummer Professors
The John Humphrey Plummer Professorships were established in 1931 from a bequest of £200,000 under the will of John Humphrey Plummer, an estate agent of Southport, to the University of Cambridge for the advancement of science.[1][2] The fund has been used to endow a series of professorships in various scientific fields under a number of titles.

gollark: That would possibly expose your IP to it which might be bad.
gollark: How should profile pictures work? Presumably you'd want them globally set, so they'd be fetched from your identity server, but would each server you chat in have to proxy them or something?
gollark: The actual messaging features are in a different spec to their bizarre XML encapsulation formats.
gollark: Indeed. I think we may be slightly reinventing XMPP, but XMPP is beeoid due to it being overly "extensible".
gollark: - better interserver capability than IRC's weird tree thing
