https://t.co/8wTZcjSVze 15 hours to go and beginning to feel the adrenalin kicking in. I am leaving my cousin's at 8am tomorrow morning to meet my nephews at https://t.co/nypTIf9ijh at 8.45 to get prepared to skydive at 10 am. Early night me thinks!
https://t.co/8wTZcjSVze Thank you all so much for your support! So far, we have raised over £2,500 in total for my three charities. Let's try to reach £3,000 by the time I jump on Monday. Weather looks good and despite being scared, I am looking forward to the adrenalin rush.

Really proud to be part of @UoDComputing - only one of 5 UK Computing departments to have a clean sweep of "world-leading" or "internationally excellent" research!
Our entire Computer Science & Informatics #REF2021 submission was rated “world-leading” or “internationally excellent” (a distinction shared only with Birmingham, Bristol, Imperial, and Oxford)
Having a great time #AAATE2019 Loads of AAC technology. Such a change since my first AAATE conference in 1989! Fantastic to see use centred design and usability at the forefront
