Someone asked me today if I had any recommended guides for developing #FIJI plugins. It's not something I've been doing a whole lot of in recent years, so my memory is a little hazy. I did refer to this extensively during my PhD and PostDoc, but maybe people have other/better suggestions?

Done.

I forgot that I had this made. As a prototype that never went into full production, it's the only one in existence and, therefore, highly desirable.

Let's start the bidding at £1,809, £1 for every day since the very first CBIAS.

For an extra 50%, you can have it signed by @martinjones.bsky.social.

Today we say farewell to Alicja Skórkowska, who returns to @jagiellonskiuni.bsky.social after a very productive 6 month stay with us. Alicja will be missed!

However, we also welcome @lankylaste.bsky.social, who is now officially a @crick.ac.uk person!

Tired of having to buy a new pair of scissors every 24 years?

Thanks Windows.

I had not fully considered the consequences of disabling a device and how this would impact upon its functionality.

This is genuinely disturbing.

47% of Brits think most of us are here illegally and 45% think a "large number" of us should be "required to leave"

That would make me almost 102.

I think this might be the first time I've seen Gaeilge used at a conference outside Ireland

I would hope it's replacing the air, rather than the wine

He knows all the tricks of the TV trade. Not surprising considering he's been doing TV since before any of us were even born, himself included

I knew British tax was absurdly complicated, but not this absurd.

Tremendously informative piece from @willdunn.bsky.social, with some radical, yet simple, solutions.

Required reading for anyone concerned about future funding of British science (or the funding of anything at all, quite frankly).

Meanwhile, @duolingoverde.bsky.social seems to have used a slightly different set of training data

Inspired by this video from @abeba.bsky.social, I tried something, and, well, all I can say is, wow.

Just wow.

Looking forward to speaking at the 6th Central European Biomedical Congress ( #CEBC2025 ) in Kraków, July 22-24.

Catch my talk on reproducibility in Session 13. The congress centres on "Integrating #Neuropharmacology and #Bioinformatics with #AI."
