It’s all very depressing 😔 Always one for a book recommendation, check out “The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny” by Laura Bates

I hope you are on the mend! Admittedly, I too think of Innes any time there's some forbidden smoothie that's been left in the fridge for too long. @innes.bsky.social, what have you started 😆?

I've had similar comments because I did my BSc, MSc and PhD at the same institution (and now work there). Healthcare differences between regions and family means moving around is not an option. Also, I like where I am 🙂
