I'm very excited to announce I've been awarded a 5 year ERC Starting Grant on Force-responsive User Interfaces! I'll be hiring post-docs and PhDs and soon, get in touch if you love blue-skies UI research. @ERC_Research @SCC_Lancaster @LancasterUni https://t.co/AFdpS1lKCr

Please can you all fill in the honey survey - it closes in under two weeks time and we need to get a good response in order to make sense of what is happening. It will only take a few minutes to complete: https://t.co/JA5CzB69eD #bees #beekeeping #honeybees #honey

Great opportunity to join a really unique team

Amazing news for @ImaginationLanc and @LICAatLancaster and great opportunities for #GlobalHealth #DesignResearch

We learned to recognise the calls and edited audio. Then we made and programmed a circuit with Raspberry Pis and Scratch, so the prints would play call when touched.

[Ensemble Team @EnsembleLancs]

We watched birds and recorded their calls. Curlew, lapwing and oystercatcher breed in the fields near the school and are frequently heard and seen. On our visit we heard/saw wren, willow warbler, meadow pipit, pheasant and blackbird, amongst others. Then we made conductive prints

I thoroughly enjoyed #thelostsounds activities with Year 3s and Year 4s at Quernmore Primary School. Wonderful to see all the other interesting bird-focussed activities the group have been doing. Thanks to @claireddean @AsMirry @ThinkOutLoudLtd @benwohl

1/2 It’s a busy time for #thelostsounds project. Before half term Year 5s at West End PS made fab prints of birds from Morecambe Bay with conductive ink and programmed a Raspberry Pi circuit to play the prints play sound when touched. Their exhibition is in the video and photo.

Looking forward to speaking at this event in a few weeks — I'll aim to share some thoughts on how we might support collaborative #planning that embeds #socialvalue in the design and delivery of major schemes. #futureofplanning
