@CrownePlaza Seriously, your brand is now the worst 4 customer experience encountered. The cs policies are appalling, the attitude& conduct of a manager at Crowne Plaza London Docklands needs a close investigation. Ive lost confidence in your brand thus was member since 2011

[Bupe @BupeFathi]

@IHGCorporate Seriously, your brand is now the worst 4 customer experiences ever encountered. The policies are appalling, the attitude& conduct of the manager at Crowne Plaza London Docklands was arrogant& dismissive. Ive lost confidence in your brand thus was member since 2011

[Bupe @BupeFathi]

@IHGService written, called several times infact with all the info spoken to multiple people-45mins 43 secs on a call today and nothing been resolved its absolutely discusting so I shall keep posting on all your social meadia handles until you resolve my issue to alert other customers

[Bupe @BupeFathi]

@IHGCorporate Complaint Ref: Crowne Plaza London - Docklands by IHG: Regarding Denial of Check-in Despite Full Prepayment. I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my experience at above hotel. And the ridiculous reason why i was left in the street at night with kids

[Bupe @BupeFathi]

@IHGCorporate I've never experienced such poor customer service. The customer care policies are disappointing, and my interaction with the manager at the Crowne Plaza London Docklands was particularly concerning. Not resolved the issue, but asking to complete a survey?seriously?

[Bupe @BupeFathi]

Stepping into the New Year with gratitude for the lessons, the people, and the purpose that keeps unfolding. Wishing you all clarity, courage, and success in 2026.

🧬 News alert: We’re bringing BaseData out of stealth — the world’s largest and fastest growing biodiscovery dataset, built in collaboration with scientists across 26 countries.

🔍 BaseData adds 9.8 billion newly discovered protein sequences to the known tree of life — expanding it by over 10x beyond what public datasets currently offer.

🌍 Why does this matter? Because this biological richness will help us break through the data wall holding back Bio AI performance. We’re training biological foundation models on BaseData in partnership with @NVIDIAAI

This is a huge step forward in understanding biology and unlocking next-gen biotech.

📰 Huge thanks to @AndrewE_Dunn and @endpts for covering the story. Read the article: https://t.co/HMaCWwYlwp

🗻 @Basecamp_Res' Oliver Vince is headed to #Davos2025. This year’s theme, "Collaboration for the Intelligent Age," aligns with Basecamp’s mission to build a global network of biodiversity partnerships to train the next generation of AI.

🌍 Our Impact:
Basecamp Research collaborates with communities and organizations across 25+ countries, pioneering an economic model that transforms nature’s data into a valuable asset. In 2024, we paid royalties on revenue to 37 groups in 13 countries—exceeding the "Cali Fund" recommendations set at the UN Biodiversity talks.

💡 Why It Matters:
Our data empowers AI to understand nature’s complexity and design better medicines.

📅 Join Us at Davos:
Discover more at the "Accelerating Business Solutions for Nature" panel on January 22.

🪼@FrontiersIn Marine Science has published a research collaboration between @Basecamp_Res scientists and our biodiversity partners at @heritagemalta. The paper looks at how microorganisms adapt and evolve differently on wrecks at great depths. Read it here: https://t.co/zTFeAdiuww Congratulations to @bolton_emma_ @nadinegreenhal Emily Kunselman @Jasmine88309890 @neem_patel80215 Maja Pace Sausmekat @phoebefordd and Timmy Gambin.

Basecamp Research is grateful for opportunities like this to work with partners on research projects as part of our biodiscovery programme, the largest-ever of its kind. Our aim is to build a digital twin of the natural world to provide AI with the scale of data it needs to discover and design the next generation of breakthrough medicines and sustainable biotech solutions.

🏜 Ecological succession transforms ecosystems:

1. Each stage prepares for the next.
2. Biomass builds soil.
3. Mature soil supports stable communities (e.g., forests).

Microbiomes aid this process, and regenerative farming preserves natural soil formation.

Basecamp Research's Head of Global Research @phoebefordd's keynote "The World's First Foundational Dataset Purpose-Built for #AI in Biology," delivered at the AE: Global Summit on Open Problems for AI, is now available to watch here: https://t.co/y46ayS2IcP

Thanks @RMBattleday for bringing London's AI community together at this great event.

[Basecamp Research @Basecamp_Res]

Sharing revenue with communities that protect nature has been core to @Basecamp_Res business since 2019.
3⃣ Lessons we've learned working across 25 countries:
- Working together leads to strong technical outcomes (better data = better AI performance)
- AI does not have to be a black box: We trace and share royalties from all AI-generated designs
- Our model for sharing monetary and non-monetary benefits (eg building scientific capacity) directly allows our partners to see real rewards quickly from the work they do to contribute to better medicines

This week discussions at the Global ABS workshop has unlocked many bottlenecks in the mechanism & facilitated ABS measures & compliance collaborations. Excited to have presented & met so many ABS collegues and stakeholders.

[UN Biodiversity @UNBiodiversity]

Inspiring conversations happening at the @UNBiodiversity ‘Doing ABS workshop’ in Bonn 🇩🇪!

Participants are sharing practical ways to operationalize ABS under the #NagoyaProtocol.

Did you know➡️ High-income countries use 6x more materials per person than low-income countries, leading to disproportionate climate impacts.

If we're to meet our #GlobalGoals, we must change this. @UNEPIRP’s 2024 Global Resources Outlook explains more: https://t.co/UeBUF1YWRr
