I'm on my way to London for Bloomberg Academic Symposium by Bloomberg. First 🚂 change, Leeds. (If I don't look happy, that's just because I've been up since 6am! It will be a great day after I fully wake up. 😴)

1800 days streak on Duolingo! The picture is in Spanish because that's the only way to start learning Catalan, from Spanish. (Just about getting by with the instructions.)

Really enjoyed my first time at ELIXIR Europe BioHackathon. We co-led the project "Bioschemas for Mortals" to identify and articulate improvements to guidance for marking up life sciences data sets. #BioHackEU24 Computer Science @ The University of Manchester

Just finishing up from BioNT CarpentryConnect Europe 2024 at EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany. A great week of conference and hacking on research data and software community training.
