Will be in Glasgow for the next two days for the #HDRUKconference to celebrate all things #HealthData in the UK and Scotland.

We don't have enough to fund the scientists that are already here. The whole University sector is going through a massive crisis due to lack of money.

For some very weird reason there's no appetite to invest in Higher Education in the UK.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Miserable post

Sorry for the miserable post.

Not just tourism. Earlier this year I chose to present at a US conference via zoom rather in person.

LSE, Imperial, KCL and UCL all increasing intake by 30-65% is pretty cynical. Can't imagine the student experience in London is also increasing.

Very honored to receive the Royal Society Research Culture Award - this represents the work of a great team who've worked non-stop since we launched bioRxiv in 2013 royalsociety.org/news/2025/08... www.cshl.edu/inglis-and-s...

I love how accuracy/reality is now a left wing concept and the pretence of truth (e.g. "truth" social, GB "news") is firmly right wing.

Looking forward to great day of impactful health data science at the #GenerationScotland Symposium today at the gorgeous Playfair Library in Edinburgh.

I'd really like to know what exactly the Union are doing to positively help us get out of this situation. All I hear is criticism, gleeful finger pointing and refusal to support anything coming out of the Executive. None of which is helping.

That is an advertisement, not science. If they're that confident in the tech it should be formally peer-reviewed and published.

Only 6% less belief in vaccines than the actual seasons is a win for me.

The 25% of people who aren't convinced by the seasons is a genuine worry, however.

This (from OpenAI's official demo) is one of the worst chart crimes I've ever seen

I bet @susiedent.com has contributed many unique ones.

Sausages!

Lol. Nice try...

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

I guess I should also get locked up. Just in case.
