Ordered a hot chocolate in a cafe on Saturday, but instead they gave me this fantastic demonstration of convection cells and a perfect analogy for solar granules: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granule_(… (video is about 10x sped up)

Chuffed about the shout out we got from UCL Professor @ChamkaurGhag while discussing his rhizome.earth project on Matt Gooch's podcast on The #SustainableDevelopmentGoals at #CollectivelyBetter. We're on min 16:30: open.spotify.com/episode/2KBI2t…… #SDGs #remotecollaborations

Excited to be involved with CERN Webfest this year. The topic is fantastically well-timed: Working Together Apart – Accelerating Collaboration. We're looking forward to seeing what solutions the participants will come up with. youtube.com/watch?v=W8hmj_… #CERNwebfest

Here's a solid (meta-)analysis of number of lines in a function vs bug density: softwarebyscience.com/very-short-fun…. Bonus points for them bringing their own results on more modern projects. I frequently push for shorter functions during reviews so it's good to hear the counter-arguments!

New travel hack: forget exactly when your plane / train leaves and remember only the hour. At worst you'll have the usual scramble, at best you'll arrive early and get an hour for free!

This time last week we were wrapping up #PyHEP2021 - a great week of talks around using Python for particle physics. It was great to see so many people from so many places connecting, learning, and swapping ideas!

We all need human connection. Even more with #WorkFromHome and #remote teams so common. Can we get that feeling of closeness, while only meeting online? We’ve been working on a solution - take a peek! cutt.ly/wYLLh2k #BringingUsCloser

For me it would have to be Andy Weir - I read "Project Hail Mary" during the holiday and its scientific rigour and the novelty of its story points just blew my mind!

We’re devastated by the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. UNHCR has set up an emergency fund to help people forced to flee – support now: donate.unhcr.org/int/en/ukraine…

Very excited to be talking tomorrow at the Turing Way's Fireside Chat on Inclusive Research Conferencing! There's a lot to reflect on from the last two years...
