I work in scholarly publishing creating the infrastructure that gets research discovered and researchers connected. I use BlueSky mainly for waffling about AI and liking cartoons. Trying to write a novel, and getting there... Views are my own etc.

It may not look much, but this wooded valley is one of my favourite places. Now with added puppy.

Coincidentally my run today was 56 mins. For 9k. This was 21k. I physically could not have run twice as fast even for 10 seconds. Kiplimo runs sub-57 to shatter half marathon record - www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

Today is a red letter day. They say everyone has one book in them, and I took a step closer to that being true when I hit one hundred thousand words. I never imagined I'd get past one thousand! ⌨️🎉

What a lovely idea and amazing to see such incredible technology from the 80s. Accidentally tuned into a few minutes of EastEnders last night and the whole 'Phil goes back in time' thing made me check my drink was actually water.

Is there a more optimistic widget anywhere on the web than the 'People you may know from <insert university>' on Linkedin? Yeah, I might coincidentally know this person from among the other 250,000 living alumni....

I like how this trial takes the idea of AI being a CO-intelligence and runs with it. Two radiologists were already partnering to screen each image. If the trial is successful it would be a radiologist and an AI. BBC News - Major breast cancer screening AI trial to begin www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of those glorious mornings you only get in late winter when the sun is strong and at an acute enough angle to make you and the puppy feel like a giant.

I love everything about @nationaltrust.bsky.social. So much so that we became life members this year. Just need to live long enough now to get round everything they have to offer.

The nurse practitioner at the urgent treatment centre called this 'the dreaded cough'. My wife and I would call it 'the most hellish thing we've ever had with no end in sight!'

It's definitely a false impression you get from BA ground staff at EWR. Very friendly, but take details down on photocopied sheets and can't process on spot. I had to call BA this morning to get a missing bag number only to find most of the details on the claim were wrong, including the flight #

Arrived in New York but my bags didn't. Thanks to helpful staff at Canopy in Jersey City I'm sorted out with some basics and heading out to shop for something to wear into the office tomorrow.

Tallying up the results after the storm. One fence panel obliterated (no really, it didn't just fall down, it exploded). One roof panel from the chicken run shredded. Wheelie bin on its side. Puppy now afraid to go outside.

It's been a heck of a week. I welcome the storm as an opportunity to do absolutely nothing for two whole days.

Spotted this Fleet St building from the bus this morning. Went hunting for the building's real history (interesting enough) and found its fictional history. Home of Sweeney Todd! memoirsofametrogirl.com/2019/01/05/1...

A growing problem --- fake papers polluting systematic reviews. And interesting point that the gold-standard protocols that Cochrane is developing to weed out untrustworthy studies, are too much of an effort for systematic-review authors looking at 100s of papers. www.science.org/content/arti...
