We hosted a hackathon with the Global Change Institute @WitsUniversity for our AI4 Climate Project on utilising AI & ML in climate research.

This includes data-driven global climate model development, regional ML-based downscaling methods, dataset creation & evaluation.

I was very excited that this is how i first heard that a UK general election has been announced.

Our Bible passage for the week is Mark 1:9-15.

We invite you to take a moment to reflect on where Jesus is showing up in the unlikely places in your life, and where God is tearing down barriers around you.

We’re proud to launch innovative #DigitalTwin projects to transform environmental science alongside @NERCScience

It brings together multidisciplinary teams to realise the value of this rapidly-emerging technology & transform our national capability in weather & climate

[The Alan Turing Institute @turinginst]

❓ As extreme weather escalates globally, the Turing & @MetOffice ask: Can AI transform how we forecast weather?

⛈️ How does existing weather forecasting work, anyway, and how will using #AI differ?

☀ We're expecting a coronal mass ejection to arrive at Earth later on Saturday or early on Sunday, bringing Moderate to Strong geomagnetic storms.

Depending on cloud cover, there's a good chance of visible auroras in northern areas of the UK later on Saturday night.

Excited to be a part of the new AI for Numerical Weather Prediction programme:

In 2012, a herd of elephants walked for 12 hours to the house of Lawrence Anthony ( the man who had saved them) following his passing, even though no one alerted them to the event

They stood around the house in an apparent vigil for two days, in quiet contemplation

Exactly a year later, on the anniversary of his passing, the same herd once more made the journey to his house.

With machine learning likely an important future part of most Research Software Engineers (RSEs) roles, I created a tutorial on getting started with MLOps for RSEs which I presented at the UK RSE in September 2022, recording now available on Youtube:
