Missed out on coming to my talk about the Anatomy of Particle Detector at the Royal Institution? Do you know how big the ATLAS detector really is? Ever wondered what a caveman has got to do with particle physics?

Come find out by watching my talk on YouTube!

I wish people would understand the insidious downstream impacts of giving up their dna data. never ever send your dna to 23 & and me, and if you already have, request for your data to be deleted now as that company is about to explode

Huge thank you to the @cityoflondon for inviting me to deliver the keynote address at the Conference Ethical AI in Education hosted byMerchant Taylors Hall. Last November, Ofcom reported that 74 percent of online 16 to 24 year olds in the UK, have used a generative AI tool.

A wonderful thread by @Afro_Herper on Air Force’s horrific plan to vastly expand low-elevation and supersonic combat training across southern Arizona and southwest New Mexico, and what it would mean for people and wildlife:

I’m a gen AI hater.

Like it’s possible someday I maybe forced to use generative AI but when I say I’m a hater I do think the fact that we, collectively, celebrated tech which is such an ethical quagmire in terms of creation (data scraping), usage(👇), function(misinformation /n

So proud of my partner @GabsInATree for winning the Apprentice of Year for Arboriculture, Forestry and Woodland Management 🙌🙌 Congratulations!! Many thanks to @LantraUK @FarmersWeekly for a lovely evening!

Intrigued to know how industrial freezer users are handling the governments policy of no information with regards to the “will we/won’t we” have winter blackouts.

How does one plan to reduce spoilage if there’s a refusal to reduce the chance of them happening at all …

We had this intriguing exclusive (👇) on Weds about public info campaign being dropped.

I was told on Thurs govt would be "signposting" people to existing guidance instead.

Now we know why: Truss is “ideologically opposed” to telling people what to do.
