Universities are a uniquely awful place to work as they automatically enroll you in an "alumni" list and beg for donations after they make you redundant. I have specifically asked University of Bath to remove me from such communications under GDPR. But they don't. Does the ICO - Information Commissioner's Office care?

🔬 Proud to support Africa Open Science & Hardware OpenFlexure Microscope workshops through our Open Infrastructure Fund! These capacity-building workshops in Ghana are bringing affordable, open science hardware to students and researchers. Learn more: buff.ly/3TZUNtL






I am inspired by what people have done with OpenFlexure. This is why we do it!






One of the problems with Sainsbury's truly psychotic decision to bag almost all veg is it just promotes waste. I can tell if a loose parsnip is good. I get home from the shop with a bag because it is all they have. One has gone rotten and they all have started to smell fermenty.


It was an absolute blast having our close collaborators from Center for Advanced Systems Understanding at HZDR today - a fruitful day with lab practicals & 6 microscopes built to be deployed to multiple sites for #UTI diagnosis in the near future. Exciting times! Looking forward to another stimulating day tomorrow!
