We're always amazed by the creativity and talent of the iPRES community! 😍 One of our clever attendees, Ima Oduok, has created cross stitch patterns from the #iPRES2025 logo! 🪡 You can download the patterns here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Meet us in the Long-term Data Retention session at #EOSCSymposium2025 to learn how "long-term" data retention and preservation are defined across different domains and what can be done in the EOSC context.

📅 Tuesday 4 November
⏰ 14.45-16.00

I'm just here to offer you congratulations on your username. 👍

In case anyone hasn't yet read this book: can confirm, it's incredible. Possibly my favourite KJC, although it may be in a death match with the other Will Darling series books, and the Green Man novel Spectred Isle, all of which are also chef's kiss.

(For the list of things that are batshit bonkers/make academics unwell, see also: mainstream academic publishing; the "tenure track".)

I did! I now do my research for an NGO in one of my research areas (information science). Getting EU funding is no joke, but everything is much less about crappy structures and dept / institutional politics, and a lot more about the actual work (which is what I care about).

Val, these are both perfection👌

HE is a shitshow for researchers, and pressure like this drives a lot of the poor behaviour I witnessed there. I hope a better research context is possible for you at some point soon ☹️

Honestly, I think having KJ Charles standing in line to get your signature means you have Arrived.

Still time to register for the @eosc-eden.bsky.social and FIDELIS Bootcamp!

Elevate your know-how on core preservation processes and join us in Paris on 19/11.

Yes, that and the edge demarcating where the stone wall meets the white floor. Such an intriguing picture!

But the lines behind him show through his legs 🧐 A detail, I know, but it made me wonder …

Can't wait to read it! I know the contemporary Seven Dials area, but I was drawn there initially by its reputation as a complex and dangerous slum in writing of the Victorian period. I wonder if you identify any traces of the slum era in the modern period.

Was the man pasted into this photo? Was he ever there?

Who’s your favourite? I’m all about the Mongolians. Ichinojo was my favourite until The Departure, then my babe Terunofuji. Now I’m into Hoshoryu these days. I hope he does well and stays healthy this week. Enjoy Saturday!

Phone book by Andrew Sinclair, currently showing at Roger Billcliffe gallery, Glasgow, Oct - Nov 2025.

So sad that the Roger Billcliffe #artgallery in #Glasgow will be closing at the end of the year. This is probably my favourite private gallery in #Scotland, weathering many storms since 1992. There's a gorgeous still life show to 15 Nov: www.billcliffegallery.com/events/event... - go while you can!

👀 The goal of the CODATA Research Data Management Terminology is to gather the key terms needed for a common understanding of the research data management domain.

v002 is available at vocabs.ardc.edu.au/viewById/685

My mistake entirely. And confirms that I spend far too much time thinking about Bertram when my mind should be on other things!

Wait, dash it. You were talking about Peter there and I was talking about Bertram. My apologies. I see now what you mean.

He's a lot taller than Peter – that's the one thing we do know. I suppose that the Drones has a portrait? (I wonder if Peter was also a Drones member. Even just ironically. 🤔)

This one is of course all about the new release of the CODATA Research Data Management Terminology (RDMT), freely available here: vocabs.ardc.edu.au/viewById/685 #IDW2025 #openscience #RDM

Kangaroo logo plus text: I am presenting at International data week 13 to 16 October 2025 Brisbane Australia register today.

You're most welcome. Does it look like the one you remember?

My pleasure! I am grateful to have found other Wimseyites. (But I have not yet found a public portrait of Wooster: any leads welcome ...)

Apologies for the steep angle of the photo – as you can see there was a lot of glare.

And detail of the writing:

Here we are:

If I find the photo that I took, I'll post it 🤞
