Last night I ate my first 3-D constructed steak, made entirely from plants, at the great Chouchou restaurant in Stockholm. It's astonishing. The texture's exactly right and the taste is excellent.
This is *before* we have precision fermented proteins, encapsulated fats and heme.

@seis_matters You must be kicking yourself for choosing the wrong discipline in your academic career 😂

@seis_matters Bye

@academic_exit I miss my friends in academia but not the system, the working environment, the stress levels, and the death by a thousand cuts of academia. I found teaching and mentoring fulfilling but get same fulfilment from the challenges of last 15 years. I miss fieldwork too :-(

This is the best one of these I have ever seen.

@GrahamHyde Are they letting him write his own slides now? Or is this classification based on modelling from No 10's crack team of data scientists and weirdos? If it wasn't so serious, it would be laughable.

Who will bring the UK's data sources together in a coordinated response to #COVID19 - @jent from the UK #ODI has some good ideas. Who will lead the effort?

@jayrayner1 - Life's too short to try to like something that you clearly don't. Forget gin - next time you're in Copenhagen try a bacon old fashioned like this:

You'd probably really like the food at #fleisch too

Data ownership destroys its value. Jack McFarlane, Deepstream ... this should resonate well with the upstream world. #Ignite19

Fantastic comprehensive walk-through of organisational, architectural, process, and people considerations, in getting the most from an organisation's technology teams. Lots of practical leanings from @emmerhoff at #EVRYinsight.

The peer review scam is another part of the broken UK academic system. How do you fit a few hours of unpaid reviewing into an already fictitious workload framework when it only really benefits the publisher?

[John A Stevenson @volcan01010]

I just declined another peer review request. I can't do it at work and, with 3 young kids, there is no time at home. And I can't justify reviewing for non-open access journal where I can't even access the final product. It's a shame, because I really wanted to read this paper.

A diverse and egalitarian workforce is a no-brainer. If it's not happening in your organisation then ask your leadership why. Some good perspectives in these conversations from women in critical operational roles. https://t.co/aWcBkBZdky

@robertlargan Like cut domestic solar feed-in tariff? This was pointless and has inhibited both the business model that made it work (e.g. for small schools with a few panels to help balance books), and also micro-distribution infrastructure needed for a ground-up growth in renewables.

A great review by Venture IM's Gareth Smith of Petex 2018 - the one where the oil industry realised that there might be a better way to use data. https://t.co/r4V2az6XJv

In the same week that we learn how the Japanese medical school system is rigged against women, the forthcoming #olympics #Tokyo2020 spectacularly misses an opportunity to right a #genderinequality:

@mitsmr @AshildHanne Some strong starting points to make your organisation a more #intelligententerprise. To operationalise this into everyday activities, the @ratzesberger concept of the #sentiententerprise drives a truly-data driven organisation https://t.co/MG1YTcH96A
