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).

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…

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

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.
