For the non-experts. This urgently needed investment was one of the few good decisions by Sunak. Stopping it is throwing AI and other compute research for years into disarray in the UK and is making the country even more unattractive for foreign researchers after Brexit.

What does a supercomputer look like? 🖥️ Mishal Husain explores the Advanced Computer Facility near Edinburgh, which is used by thousands of researchers, and where there is hope of a new and more powerful supercomputer to replace the old one. #R4Today

Really enjoyed showing Mishal Husain around the ACF yesterday. Reminded me that we need to get better at talking about why supercomputing is important. Thank you BBC Radio 4 Today

Looking for a Research Software Engineer (RSE) for my recently awarded NSF project For how-to-apply & more details shorturl.at/HmmaD The role will have plenty of opportunities to learn and grow as the project evolves! More importantly we are a fun and vibrant bunch 🥳😎!

Mark Parsons Mishal Husain BBC Radio 4 Today Back in April 2016 I had the pleasure of speaking to US congress and staffers about exascale along these same lines. The problems hpc solves are important and carry national economic and social impact. Good to see the BBC coverage...

Do you have open research datasets which you would like to share for the benefit of a wider research community but lack a platform on which to publish them? The Edinburgh International Data Facility may have the solution. edin.ac/3As0eei DDI Society of Research Software Engineering

Doesn't look like much yet, but it's nice to see our new lab space coming together at our Bayes Centre offices. It will be nice to have somewhere to play with hardware outside the ACF EPCC

A reddit user asked "What are the most common problems in comp chem?" This was my response. Do you agree?

There can be few things more precarious that having filled out a long review on a web page and then waiting for the submission to work. So many times the submission fails and all that work is gone 😢 (I do copy to a text doc in case that happens, but it's a shame that's needed)
