Today is my last day at @emblebi. I've been fortunate to have worked with many talented people so I've written a retrospective of my 9 years there to thank them for their support and highlight the main outcomes of our collaboration: https://t.co/mXKgx9D8Tw

This wrapping paper has guides on the back side, which can be very useful to people like me who can’t cut a straight line 🎁🙏 #gooddesign

@Acuity_Design Local action with global effects (like taking the bus to reduce global emissions)? Haven’t heard the term before…

Lovely talk by @francisrowland of @Nexer_Digital on creating viable, usable, desirable, and sustainable scientific tools & services. Reminded me of our work together at @emblebi and acknowledged how the UXLS community of the @PistoiaAlliance fosters precompetitive collaboration.

Great day out at the medieval reenactment at @EHKenilworth Castle today with dancing and a marching army.

[Nikiforos Karamanis @technorasis]

@ChrisSpalton It’s been great, the kids asked that we come back again soon. Thank you again!

Lovely short break in Norfolk including seals in Horsey Gap, tigers at Thrigby, horse riding in Filby, a boat trip in the Broads, adventures in Bewilderwood and afternoons on the beach.

Read my article on how we improved the #accessibility of our site and the terrific work by my colleagues at @emblebi and @embl in this area:

The EMBL-EBI home page ranked in the top 5% among the one million most visited home pages in @webaim's 2022 #accessibility report. This year we expect to rank even higher, together with the very few other pages that do not have any errors.

@Cascade21 @emblebi Congratulations to all of you!

Now that my colleagues are back from holidays I’m reminded that my job is mainly planning, coordination and facilitation 🤔

[Nikiforos Karamanis @technorasis]

I presented a case study from my earlier work for @OpenTargets to introduce the basic principles of #uxdesign and inspire others to apply them to their own projects.

I was delighted to present how we have been applying #uxdesign @emblebi in a webinar hosted by National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) and @scilifelab earlier this week. Many thanks to Wolmar Nyberg Åkerström for inviting me to give this talk!

@ShitFacilitator Listen more, talk less.

[Nikiforos Karamanis @technorasis]

Odd week as I had a tooth extracted on Tuesday, my youngest son was ill on Wednesday and I ended up unwell myself today. But listening to @eltonofficial and watching the outrageous costumes from the early 80s made me feel like a little kid: https://t.co/b9AgdyHogo

@cjforms It also has the “compulsory question” asterisk so they really need your answer 😂
