Great to see some serious work on a #flexitarian diet. Will help my many pub debates on why this is a real thing! bbc.co.uk/news/health-46โ€ฆ

Really proud that we are supporting these scholarships. Broadening participation in AI & computer science is critical. Please share/apply!

Privilege to visit my old school Beauchamp College to talk #STEM with students & catch up with my truly inspiring biology teacher Richard Heppell, if not for whom I might have ended up doing sensible, normal jobs ๐Ÿ˜‚

In 2017 I completed a summer program at Stanford University and promised myself I would work as hard as it took to be accepted into their prestigious PhD program. Two years later and Iโ€™ve just received my official acceptance. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒ #PhDBound #BlackExcellence

Or global machine learning community is stronger because of these efforts๐Ÿคฉ. Please encourage everyone you know in South East Asia to apply. The organisers have put in an incredible amount of work into this and will be a formative week of growth, community and fun! ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐ŸŽ‰

I know that many of these suggestions must seem blindingly obvious and I hope not to have come across as condescending (particularly as I failed to implement many of these practices when I was an academic). Hopefully at least some will prove useful!

One of the most patheticโ€”and dangerousโ€”signs of our times is the growing number of individuals and groups who believe that no one can possibly disagree with them for any honest reason.

Great to see 1000 new AI conversion degree scholarships for people from underrepresented groups - a good step on the vital mission of ensuring AI opportunities for everyone. Proud of our work with Cambridge, Oxford & UCL offering scholarships in support of this. Lots more to do!

So great to see this Tatsiana Barychka ! Well done on working out how to use such a complex simulation model to shed light on this important real world issue.

Thrilled to be able to share what I've been working on for the last year - solving the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics with deep learning! arxiv.org/abs/1909.02487

Today I saw @drewpurves inspire an audience of GCSE students with his path from research to Microsoft to Google DeepMind and how he has been paid well to work flexibly on exciting projects with cool colleagues from diverse backgrounds and he gets free breakfast. FREE BREAKFAST.

Only just heard the shockingly sad news about the wonderful Georgina Mace. I'd interacted with Georgina on and off for years. She was amazing. UCL Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research is a credit to her. I'm floored. Georgina I'm going to miss you terribly. Thanks for everything.
