Today I discovered that I (and many others) owe this amazing woman my life. Dorothy Hodgkin mapped Vitamin B12. Without knowledge of its structure how would we ever have synthesised B12 enabling life giving injections? Thank you Dorothy! nobelprize.org/womenwhochange…

But will they be? I apparently have the best ergonomic adjustable office seat design in the country but since it's designed for people taller than the average female height (5'3"), most women can't be comfortable in it. Caroline Criado Perez theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/o…

Been a while since I did any of my LondonEmbSchool goldwork. I'm unhappy with my first attempt at cut work and don't know if I have enough purl to re-do it and that paralysed me. But it's nearly Christmas and new courses may be on their way so I have to finish!

Had a brilliant chat with Linzi Hawkin this morning, recording a podcast for the Protect Blue Undercurrent programme for ocean advocates. Talked all things career, marine citizenship, and how to share the ocean-love as part of ocean advocacy. Thanks Linzi! protect.blue/undercurrent

It was a long time coming due to faulty parts but we now have an egg chair. The robin has been very curious about what I've been doing.

It's that time of the year when I make a #birthday #cake. This year it's for a 16th birthday and #JujutsuKaisen is the favourite thing right now. This is a cake topper I made this afternoon. Weirdly, it's hard to photograph in a way that shows how three dimensional it is.

Finally completed my LondonEmbSchool goldwork pear. Some bits I'm not happy about but not sure whether to re-do them or just leave it as my first goldwork to compare against in future. There may be new sewing arriving for Christmas so perhaps I'll leave as is for now.

As Diana talks about place identity, this is a good time reshare my work on #MarineIdentity and its role in promoting marine sustainability: doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv… Also this coproduction piece: doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1… #CoastalFutures25

Agree that AI cannot and should not replace stakeholder engagement, but trying free chatGPT to draw on the public data is not the same thing as a skilled person using full chatGPT to integrate and summarise carefully constructed inputs managed by the user. #CoastalFutures25

Saw this ad in the Guardian today. Wondering if Persil UK & Ireland can explain it to me. It seems to be saying that blood from sport is brave but blood from a uterus is shameful. Weirdly it also suggests that Persil won't get your sports kit clean, but whatever, that's their business.

Listening to Laura Bates' new book. Would love to hear a response from The New Yorker's Daniel Immerwahr and Walter Scheirer on Ch1 where she highlights how they ignore the impacts of deep fakes on women when they say they've had no effects of consequence. EverydaySexism
