Greetings from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada! I led a workshop here on Tuesday as part of ACM REP '25, and today is the last day of the conference. It is beautiful here, highly recommended.

That's the end of my first #CollabW25 Collaborations Workshop. Amazing week of work on research software community matters, great people and beautiful Stirling setting. Also the largest dosa I've ever ordered for myself, and more oystercatchers than any other conference.

This might be the first feature that actually encourages me to upgrade to Windows 11: layers in Paint. Everything else I've seen looks better/same in Windows 10. (Change my mind!)

A productive few days of hacking in Köln (Cologne) to work on Bioschemas. Thanks to ELIXIR and ZB MED. On my way home now... I was not prepared for just how big the cathedral is!

I've written about my experiences at EMBL in Heidelberg, Germany in November 2024. "UK activity blooms at European ‘CarpentryConnect’ community event"

I really enjoyed playing and singing with a range of choirs today at the Univeristy of Manchester Christmas performance. Here I am on my custom mini drum kit during rehearsal. 🎅 🥁 🎶

Delighted to share the news that I am part of the 2025 SSI Fellowship programme! What a wonderful collection of research engineers and other data professionals. My project is to grow a competencies toolkit for humanities, exchanging knowledge with life sciences. www.software.ac.uk/news/introdu...

Photo from ELIXIR BioHackathon Europe, November 2024 (by Katherin Wermke). Here, I am presenting our project progress in the middle of the week, titled 'Bioschemas for Mortals'. We are improving the guidance for less-technically-minded people who are adding FAIR markup to their data or training.
