Just finished reading Rainbow Trap by @kevinguyan.bsky.social and found it so insightful. The idea of “box breakers” resonated with me so much. Incredibly worthwhile read for anyone working with or interested in queer data.

Had a lovely guided nature walk around the park near my office. Spotted a lot of berries (hawthorn, rowan, rosehip) and a few fungi 🍄‍🟫

Starting my Christmas holidays with afternoon tea at The Dome in Edinburgh 🎄🫖
My mum and I sitting down to afternoon tea behind two massive cake stands. Half the sandwiches were gone at this point. Close up of scones with cream before jam. No I won’t be taking feedback on scone jam vs cream first.

I’m finally getting back into creative / sci fi & fantasy writing (after months of having no energy for anything outside my PhD) and I’m really pleased that I’ve managed to get my work in progress up to 6,000 words ⭐️

Feels like a pretty big deal for someone that usually writes flash fiction 🥹

Had a lovely time in St Andrews today speaking on a panel about reproducible research at the EastBio PhD symposium. Topics included AI, open access, and rewards/incentives.
