🙏 On #NationalEngineeringDay UK, gratitude to everyone whose work powers it all.

⚖️ We don’t need another umbrella term. We need sharper language that makes responsibility visible. Technical work has always carried moral weight. Our words should help us name it, reckon with it, and act accordingly, as the ancients knew it.

📊 Teleconferencing tools, streaming platforms, and chip makers all trade under the same “technology” banner despite vastly different models. Convenient shorthand, yes, but it blurs risks and erases intent. What begins as casual speech hardens into billion-dollar policy and trillion-dollar markets.

Why engineers are diving into deeper questions, how ingenuity should meet responsibility, what #engineering has taught Roma about life and Baked Alaska, and my own near-misses—how I almost took up mocha and monkhood.

Together, we’ve mapped how #engineering makes life possible, livable, and meaningful.

🌏 International Museum Day 2025. #IMD2025

...Excellence emerges when we move as one system while preserving individual contributions, recognizing, honing, and building upon each person's unique strengths.

...This traditional form predates today's Bollywood beats and reveals something fundamental about human coordination.

🎶 The best #engineering and #design teams too develop a clarity, working rhythm, and mutual awareness that sustains momentum, one that doesn’t need constant articulation...

⚙️ We challenge the “body-as-machine” metaphor which oversimplifies organic complexity. We reflect on broader and bolder pathways for collaboration: engineers learning from biological adaptation while medicine adopting engineering’s failure analyses. 🧬

#Medicine #Evolution

While #engineering juggles performance and cost for product improvements, evolution bets on gene transmission, often sacrificing #health.

✈️ Consider the Boeing 737 Max 8: a single sensor oversight, driven by market pressures, led to catastrophic crashes. Contrast this with scurvy, where a random mutation disabled vitamin C synthesis, a biological flaw evolution couldn’t rewind. 🍋
