I'm drinking instant black coffee made from a hot water dispenser, and I don't even know if it has caffeine in as the label has been (suspiciously) removed (but happily I'm on holiday, at my parents!).

My kids learn French, Spanish, German and Latin. In Latin they translate (simple) sentences of classic literature of historic significance. In MFL they have to tell people who their favourite footballer or popstar is. Introverts deserve the chance to learn languages too!

Happy World Diabetes Day, on Frederick Banting's birthday, this year celebrating 100 years of insulin. Let us not forget that type 1 diabetes treatment has progressed little in those 100 years - that life saving insulin still saves their lives multiply daily.

Great talk by Kevin Cowtan! Really inspiring! Highlighting the crucial roles woman played in computing throughout history and suggesting steps to overcome the social stereotypes to programming and include equality and diversity in your research 👏 #CCP4SW

I'm keeping an eye on some hpc jobs running for work, while for my PhD I have video called myself to keep my laptop awake while a script runs for 24h. Just realised my PhD setup is a bit low tech.
