It was a busy but incredibly fruitful and inspirational few days in London. An absolute delight to be involved.
Absolutely intellectually spoiled these past 2 days! At ‘A New Odyssey for Public Engagement’ in London, leading thinkers in science, diplomacy & public engagement from 4 continents came together to explore how the ODESSI framework (doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) can guide global dialogues on science 🌍✨

Please share far and wide.
If you're interested in & want to be involved in shaping science and technology. AND you are in #York on 8th October or #Newcastle on 22nd October. Then please come and join us. Sign up: York - forms.office.com/e/7fZqjUYHnx | Newcastle: forms.office.com/e/K1KG4M5GDd

The entrance to submitting articles to journals and open access admin is mildly scary - not gonna lie.

Feel like I need a PhD in publishing articles to publish articles from my PhD 😬

Work in AgTech or plant breeding industry? Got time to discuss novel scientific and technological products in every day life? Available to get to Cambridge, UK on Friday 12th September? Well, then come and join me for a focus group.

I'm transcribing. Research, actual research, lovely wonderful research. I forgot how much I enjoyed this. It's been a while. 😁

An afternoon of transcription derailed because the better half took my AirPods (with her AirPods) to work. Neither were required whilst she has been pulling teeth out of horses...! Sigh.

Ultra-processed foods are THE debate in nutrition right now, so you'd figure a new randomized control trial on UPFs would get lots of attention. But this study in Nature Medicine has only gotten modest coverage -- probably because it's findings are not so scary. THREAD

Oh my. If you just read government legislation on genetically modified organisms you would assume that the only persons undertaking this work were men. Kind of intrigued to see when this changes - it better change....!

Supporting academic.
"No, that's your life now.."

Happy Friday everyone. 😆

Split decision. On the one hand it's been fun trawling away for different countries policies on plant synthetic biology. On the other, I've just found a website dedicated to tracking said policies... I guess at least I have the background to sense check the tracker...

Oooh, there's a comment on a webinar "if you want to have impact get out of university" 👀

It has been a day of trawling US policy documents and so many have file names ending "FINAL." And you know somewhere, someone has a multitude of other files for the document named things like "v.1.4" "Final Final" "v.2" and "FINAL_absolutely_the_last_one"
