@irileniaN I’m sad too in a way, but 15 years giving more-or-less the same course intro is enough for anyone. I wish I could have eavesdropped and heard how fresh you made it!

@irileniaN With my “perfect English accent”, Bioinformatics became “Bond enthusiast”. So if the word’s not in its dictionary, you’ve got no chance. More worrying, I see my very first caption from last year (probably edited at 2am) was “Welcome to this molecule”, instead of “module”…

@markwassy @ProfSyK @irileniaN Crikey, did we really subject you to 17? Oh dear, it’s coming back to me now… BTW, I almost put, in my reply to Syma, “…the latest in a long line of brilliant external examiners!” :)

[Adrian Shepherd @ProfAShep]

@ProfSyK @irileniaN Looking forward to it. It’s bound to go well when we have such a brilliant external examiner!

@shikta_das I’m very sorry to hear that, Shikta. My condolences to you and your family.

@irileniaN Or Rice Science (I was tempted to send a review of my evening meal).

@wizofe @irileniaN @DeepMind Interesting — I will have to investigate it properly. (Pre-empting potential criticism like this is something I find myself doing quite a lot: “in the name of readability for a non-technical audience [the code] does not always follow best practices for software engineering.”)

@wizofe Thank you! It was a long and winding road...

[Adrian Shepherd @ProfAShep]

@markwassy @irileniaN Do you mean I've suddenly got something else that I have to do? You've just reminded me why I wasn't on twitter...

[Adrian Shepherd @ProfAShep]

@irileniaN Worth following? That remains to be seen... (Hey, look, my first tweet!)
