@ultimatellama How about Aida Lovelace (invented algorithms) or Jocelyn Bell Burnell (discovered pulsars)?

[Steven Johnson @OpticsSteve]

@ultimatellama I ended up on a grad scheme coming out of PhD. Yes, the others on the scheme were younger but the skills I had really benefited my development.

A heart wrenching comment from a student in the school's remote teaching survey for the term: "Necessary but lonely."

Funded PhD positions in my group (for UK students)
1) using quantum & machine learning to improve microscopes beyond classical limits
2) cameras, laser, and drones to spot gas leaks
3) using interference to see less than a single photon

Our session about online teaching turned into the 50 and 60 year old lecturers trying to figure out what a 'Netflix watch party' was. We might need some younger lecturers.

@brigidjones Was "Bostin" not an option?

This is such a nice message for our graduates.

We're back next Wednesday with another webinar, @alexjhepburn and @xiao_gu17 will be telling us all about identifying useful information in social media during crises and using machine learning to enhance 3D imaging.

@brigidjones This coming from some politician. It uses quantum oscillation, I am quite sure you have never studied quantum phenomenon.

What have a learnt today? Someone used deep-learning (artificial intelligence) on a video of a horse to make it look like a zebra. This is what I call science. #deepfakes #sciencetwitter

[Steven Johnson @OpticsSteve]

Usual conference preparation complete: sat still for 7 hours, watched 3 films and ate questionable food. Can't say I miss the usual transatlantic flight for #CLEO2020 .

BREAKING: @NHSEnglandNMD Professor Stephen Powis announces on @BBCBreakfast that overnight 170,000 of you have already signed up to volunteer to help your NHS — that’s 189 people every minute! 👏 https://t.co/sZR7TnmMwB #YourNHSNeedsYou

[Steven Johnson @OpticsSteve]

@SaraDiegoli @NicolaSturgeon @scotgov This is the website for NHS volunteer responders: https://t.co/CQbnJhCwmT

Great discussion on the work I presented on deep learning LIDAR. Still an area with much potential.

[Machine Learning in Science @MLinScience]

We hope you enjoyed our first colloquium! Big thanks to our speakers @OpticsSteve and @CarolWebsterCS and to our organisers. Watch this space for more events.
