Doctorates are changing…

My blog reflecting on the @ukcge.bsky.social 9th International Conference on Professional & Practice Doctorates @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social. Many fascinating insights & lovely conversations with other delegates, including many PD candidates! electv.net/2025/04/11/t...

Heading home after a fascinating two days at the @ukcge.bsky.social conference at the @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social in London.

Plenty of valuable insights into professional and practice based doctorates from a variety of institutions & PD candidates!

Starting the day with a stroll through London on the way to the @ukcge.bsky.social conference at the @royalcollegeofart.bsky.social. Looking forward to two days talking about professional and practice based doctorates.😀

This is awesome! Thank you to Suzanne Faulkner for creating this fabulous sketchnote of my Time management session at the University of Strathclyde today!

Thanks - heard good things too!

Looking for recommendations - what’s the best IDE for #python?

Playing with Apple intelligence today on iOS 18 but it’s taking its time to activate all the apps!

🤣🤣

Love it🤣

Sounds promising, better than ChatGPT? I want to check its data analysis and visualisation capabilities. 😀

On the list for today! Very interesting - how is it better so far? :)

Apparently not for a while - USA only for now!

Our Christmas cards arrived (slightly belatedly)! I finally chose Adobe to create this year’s version, though I spent a fun afternoon playing with image creation in DALL.E and Leonardo.Ai (my new favourite).

Finally! Looking forward to trying Sora after the long wait.

Finally! I was just talking about Sora yesterday and wondering when I would get to try it.

Are you aware of the directory of starter packs? You can browse all avaliable lists (sorry if this is common knowledge, hard to judge at this point) blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

Enjoying playing with the new “Flow state” feature on Leonardo.Ai - a whole range of images from a single prompt & you can create similar styles. Not every image is perfect but made several gems! Creating astronaut images seems to be popular so I started with that…

Delighted that the 3rd edition of Data Visualisation by @visualisingdata.com arrived today - looking forward to diving into it! #DataViz

Thanks - will check it out

Sounds great Michiel - would you be willing to share the lists? I always like to share this type of resource with my students.

“The system was able to design antibody fragments called nanobodies that can bind to the virus that causes COVID-19, proposing nearly 100 of these structures in a fraction of the time it would take an all-human research group.”

Virtual lab powered by ‘AI scientists’ super-charges biomedical research Could human–AI collaborations be the future of interdisciplinary studies?

Interesting. I wonder if the AI PI/ postdoc will present their findings at a conference?😀

“A virtual laboratory that combines several ‘AI scientists’ with defined scientific roles that can collaborate to achieve goals set by human researchers.”

🤣 😀

Just realised you've published the 3rd edition - I'll order a copy so the other 2 editions on my bookshelf can meet their new sibling (& so I can read it of course).

Also "Information graphics: a comprehensive illustrated reference" by RL Harris (1999) is a good reference book.
