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

What a moment! What an achievement. Wonderful way to watch them bring it home. Chloe Kelly & the indomitable #Lionesses #England #LatitudeFestival

Massive congratulations on this Mark!

50 years have passed since “Jaws” the movie was first released. Which scares me way more than any giant shark ever could.

East Croydon, right?

On the complexities of Covid. And why there’s more to it than whether lockdowns were bad or good. Really great piece from @adamjkucharski.bsky.social

The Artificial Human - Is China getting AI right? - BBC Sounds Aleks and Kevin ask whose AI development ideology will win: China or the US?

Is China getting AI right? Been a couple of months since the cheaper, leaner LLM Deepseek rocked the AI world. How? What does it mean for Silicon Valley’s closed “all you need is scale” approach. And who will win the title fight? #ArtificialHuman www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

The Artificial Human - What Do I Do if AI Gets Me Wrong? - BBC Sounds What can you do if an AI is making stuff up about you? Aleks and Kevin find out.

These days AI knows & says lots of things about us. But what do you do if it accuses you of murder? And not just *any* murder … join me & @alekskrotoski.bsky.social to find out.

Wow. Looks very satisfying. Was on a coral conservation expedition in Fiji way back; remember seeing Crown of Thorns everywhere. Nasty buggers.

Yes. SJT had its own cruel and unusual flaws.

Medical Students’ Insight into Foundation Training (MEDSIFT): a National Cross-Sectional Online Survey reveals close to 50% are considering a career outside the NHS

The medical students I teach hate the way they’re allocated to their 1st job after graduation: it’s a kind of lottery system. This study shows just how much they dislike it & how much damage it does to the way they view their future career. Hope someone’s listening.

Ah yes. And according to the Star Trek timeline we only have to wait another 250 years or so before we see it again.

my NASA brethren refer to this as a “ power cycle”

Yup. And at the best part of 40,000 miles per hour for most of that time.

NASA’s Voyager 1 Revives Backup Thrusters Before Command Pause The mission team wanted to fix the thrusters, deemed unusable decades ago, before the radio antenna that sends commands to the probe went offline for upgrades.

How cool is this. Voyager 1 is coasting in interstellar space, more than 48 years & 25 billion miles from Earth. Its back-up manoeuvring thrusters failed more than 2 decades ago. But @NASAJPL have GOT THEM WORKING AGAIN!!!! www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-v...

My grandmas were immigrants, my mum & sisters in law are immigrants; my sister & nephews are migrants. My kids study maths, Shakespeare, dance, act & score tries alongside the kids of immigrants. My dad’s life was saved by immigrants. Immigrants have made us richer, wiser, stronger

Win the fight

In operating theatres at UCLH this morning, with our wonderful theatre teams. Many people from many places, all of them helping us deliver the care. Couldn’t do it without them.

I’d argue that this isn’t “most TV shows”

Haha.
