In a Land Without Dogs the Cats Learn to Bark by @_jgarfy - my early favourite for fiction release of 2023. A great yarn which accurately portrays the chaos of early post-Soviet Georgia. Highly recommended.
The EU "must confess we have adopted too naïve an attitude toward Russia and based our expectations on...erroneous ideas," Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin tells the European Parliament.
"We should have listened to our Baltic and Polish friends who lived under Soviet rule."
Thank you for yet another great #ATTD2020 conference with amazing sessions, posters and symposia, and thank you for hosting #docday and the #dedocvoices! #doc#dedoc
RT @Longreads "This bit of free code... paired with a hacked-together insulin pump...is an artificial pancreas. 'Is this legal?' I ask, imagining some dark alley where hooded hackers hand out instructions and tiny radios to desperate diabetics."

Up next, Walrus magazine writer Jonathan Garfinkel tells us about the amateur programmers who are using open source software to help manage diabetes. #NOWDB
Was great to have coffee (AKA a green tea and a pineapple juice) with @_jgarfy to talk about our PhDs, both of which are focused on experiences with #DIYAPS.

Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko was shot dead today. Americans in particular should be chilled by this account of the government-directed hate campaign that forced him to flee. Every element is now present in the US, just less developed https://t.co/zHnEXw35vh
Thank you to incredible playwrights @TheDHTaylor, @moscotweets, @_jgarfy and David Young, and to talented actors @akosuaadem, RH Thomson and Herbie Barnes for bringing these #globalhealth monologues to life at yesterday's i2i Lab launch at @tarragontheatre!
"I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet."
