Sounds very interesting. Would you and/or @timdavies.org.uk be up for a conversation about whether we could augment the workshops with imacomputerscientist.uk chats?

T'other fellow met a fairly ignominious end, but sadly still prospering despite it.

I couldn't find Jonathan here. Reverse image search on the shirt?

Ah, excellent. I found some photos too.

Even managed to find one (out of focus) of someone enjoying themselves.

The fellow in the first one is the reason for the reminiscence.

I noticed Jonathan Raper has just signed up for our new I'm a Geographer project.

11 days later. What a crazy energetic time.

It was small. Maybe 20 plus speakers and Wellcome staff. And probably invite only. A long time ago.

2010 was a really busy year. Really exciting.

Thanks be to Wellcome

And I think @robaldridge.bsky.social came, along with Declan Fleming and that led to deciphermydata.org.uk

The day was also memorable because Evan Harris was there and took the call to let us know that partly in response to the Science is Vital campaign Science got a better than expected flat cash deal in the first austerity budget.

They were exciting days.

And in attendance:
@ianwalker.bsky.social , Sophie Scott, @jennyrohn.bsky.social @alomshaha.bsky.social @alokjha.bsky.social @mjrobbins.com @rowandavies.bsky.social

The intention was to get the community to think beyond blogging as the best use of the internet for scicomm.

I have the strongest feelings of jealousy I have ever felt.

If only someone who buys me Christmas presents actually followed me on BlueSky.

I don't get why the PMOS is so far from the PM in what they say.

Who actually briefs the PMOS on what to do say because it feels like they are not living up to their job title?

Is it Geography or Computer Science?

If the latter then it could be a great assignment. I suspect it is the former.
