Picked up this freebie at a conference stall this week. The description on the packaging is indescribable! There was also no paper or link accompanying the product either, thereby leaving the branding unclear!

Watching the winning play at the Alfred Fagon Award, "The Brenda Line" by Harry Mould. It's rable-rousing, imaginative, and relatable. The writing is throughly a gem. Congrats to the writer, Harry Mould.

Feels like coming home being here among theatre and art community at the quite exclusive Alfred Fagon Award event, at the Dorfman Theatre, National Theatre, London. Fate seems to be pulling me back to creative arts which I've been thinking of a lot lately.

From the world of Scholarly Communication yesterday to Law today, at the Northeastern University of London for my former mentor Professor Ursual Smartt's book lunch: 'Media and Entertainment Law, 6th Edition'. It was an honour to learn from her as a young Magistrate. #Jusrice

It's been a productive day here at #UKSGForum2025. The talks were inspiring, including some images of floppy disks shortbread in a baking contest to improve open-data community.
Kudos to the programme committee, and of course the amazing @charlierapple.bsky.social keeping us all moving. 👏🏾

Halfway through, and I've seen great projects by libraries and institutions here at #UKSGForum2025, the spectrum of community engagement being deployed is staggering but shoiwing positive move nonetheless.

You're right! 👌🏾Sadly, time was limited, a lot was left out. #Co-creation as I mentione early on, and also in the @elife.bsky.social Ambassador example I shared re peer review training, is a key cornerstone of #CommunityEngagement in building trust & addressing power dynamics.

Data can tell one story, but communities tell another. There is hidden knowledge between data points.
Speaker has not said it explicitly but from a Sociological point of view I guess we're saying Qual (and co-creating research) is super important 😉

Starting off the schedule by talking about "Discovering the hidden insight between data points".
Starting off by stating that AI and technological changes aren't going to replace people - we still need humans for stories, context, unheard voices.

It's kicking off now in Brighton for the @uksg.bsky.social Forum. Honoured to give the keynote today discussing "Discovering the Hidden Insights Between Data Points". Engaging #communities within sectors is a no-brainer. Don't ignore them.
