I think Maths in the U.K. needs improving and we should start with newspaper editors.

Interesting article from Kinder et al. Somewhat depressingly predictable that the stats on reporting of HbO vs HbO AND HbR have hardly changed since 2015. Gotta do better in 2023 people. #fNIRS...

Having some narcissistic fun with http://profilepicture.ai. Most look nothing like me. Some are funny, some you can see the training data causing problems (weird mask face?).

To make you feel old- Austin Powers was released 25 years ago.

My 18 m.o. daughter only started walking a few weeks ago but today she learnt to blow her nose and every parent will know this is probably more life-changing. Little genius.

This is amusing if you are a physicist.

Really engaging talk from @JulieUchitel @UCL_DOTHUB @neoLAB_UK well done Julie! #fNIRS2022 #fnirs

Nothing can stop @liamhywelcj presenting his posters at #fnirs2022 live - not even Covid.

Then, if I want to convert from Wizz credit to cash (which would still leave me £300 out of pocket by the way, because rebooked flights were pricier). The process leads to the below. An accident? I suspect not. All in all, @wizzair are a disgrace. @UK_CAA @BBCWatchdog

After about 24 hours, I received this email. The cheeky fuckers automatically refunded me for the original cancelled flight in ‘Wizz Credits’. And claim I ‘requested it’!!!..6/N…
November 28, 2024 at 6:35 PM
I waited to receive the email confirmation of this from @wizzair so I could rebook asap. It took about 15 minutes. When I finally received it the link dead-ended. 3/N…

Congratulations to @liamhywelcj who had his PhD graduation today! The first PhD to be fully completed as part of @UCL_DOTHUB

Nice to be in the (messy!) lab today with lots of the @UCL_DOTHUB team. #fNIRS

I count 8/20 desks in the families section that are actually manned. There are at least 10 kids so exhausted they are bawling their eyes out. Very lucky we got the pram at the gate.
November 28, 2024 at 4:40 PM
Seems the kids are protesting in their own particular ways…

@STN_Airport @UKBorder The passport queue at Stansted is an absolute disgrace. This is the ‘young families’ line. No excuse for this beyond indifference and incompetence. Why must everything the @ukhomeoffice does make the U.K. that bit shittier?

I’ve been playing this game religiously for a couple of years now, ever since it went viral. At least twice a week. It’s really fun, keeps my mind sharp following the instructions, and helps keep my airways clean. But today, for the first time ever I WON!!! 🥳🥳🥳 #COVID

@ContactHaringey -are you aware that your parking payments system is down? I can't buy visitors parking permits - it just gives me an error message when it tries to forward to the payments system.
