DNx: a medical IT company working in machine intelligence, software that evolves (literally!) personalised diabetes models and calculates better insulin doses.
@adambspencer In Oxford the ancient college buildings have these as the fire escape. In one set I stayed in, the associated rope— an ancient anchor hawser that looked about a century old— was already attached and neatly coiled under my bed.
@sifanelepotwana Queen Elizabeth was a staunch supporter of the emergence of Black majority governments in Africa, including trying to use her prerogative of mercy to prevent the execution of Black dissidents by the rogue regime of Ian Smith in Rhodesia. Nelson Mandela was a close friend of hers.
@camrun75@Reuters That would be the same Nelson Mandela who was one of the Queen’s closest friends, and whose first foreign policy act as President of South Africa was to re-join the Commonwealth. (White South Africa had been expelled from the Commonwealth over its policy of apartheid.)
@gunsnrosesgirl3 @EritasRed Love your work, Science Girl. Even if this one is really rather disturbing (mussels as ambush ‘predator’… I’ll never look at hors d’oeuvres the same way again…)
Spotted: Dr Nigel Greenwood @Neuromathix on @abcnews with cutting edge artificial pancreas for people with diabetes joined by Dr Farzaneh Ahmadi & her tech in developing a bionic larynx for people that have lost their voice to cancer. Really exciting impactful tech! @BionicsQld
