  11. Hi everyone 🖖

    If you are thinkging about using #nanopore for genomic surveillance in #hospitals, but don't have the #bioinformatics nor command-line skills, don't let that put you off.

    'Modernising Medical Microbiology', at @NDMOxford in #Oxford, has developed `OxBreaker': a graphical tool that can help identify budding #outbreaks by #healthcare professionals without having to upload your data to external servers and compromise patient privacy. Worth a read 👇

  12. Wir sehen den radikalen Antidemokraten Peter #Thiel am exkklusiven Tisch, behind closed doors, mit #Professoren der #Universität #Innsbruck, #Oxford und dann zu Besuch in Orbans #Budapest. Danach sehen wir den ähnlich schlimmen Curtis #Yarvin im exklusiven Hotel Schloss #Elmau, wo einst die G-7 tagte. Es ist offenbar bei einigen Professoren und Reichen jetzt modisch, sich mit #Antidemokraten geheim zu treffen und sich am Duft der antidemokratischen #Radikaltät zu erfreuen. (1 von 3)

  13. Yay! I'm invited to speak at the first Oxford & Lancashire Colloquium on cosmological structures on the largest scales, along with Roger Penrose (Nobel Prize 2020), Roya Mohayaee, Francesco Sylos Labini, and Joe Silk.

    Thanks to the organizers @morninglopez @rgclowes for inviting me

  14. Change is Freedom, Change is Life

    We dig. We turn over the old soil, question assumptions, and get honest about what's working, and what isn't. We plant, build in the open, share power, and let go of fear. We grow, not by scaling up, but by spreading out: resilient, diverse and interconnected. That's how we cultivate the commons. You don’t get transformative change by building according to the incentives of the dominant system. A post inspired by rereading Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia as part […]

  15. #Chiltern Railways has been named the operator for the first stage of East West Rail, set to launch later this year, connecting #Oxford and Milton Keynes. This new service will slash journey times, providing better access to jobs, education, and business opportunities. The project aims to drive economic growth in the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, with East West Rail projected to generate £6.7 billion annually by 2050 and support 28,000 jobs in #Cambridge. The line will also feature a new station at #Winslow and improved services at #Bicester Village and #Bletchley. The development will enhance local economies, reduce road travel, and contribute to the regeneration of town centres. Future stages will extend the line to Bedford and #Cambridge, with plans for greener, hybrid battery-electric trains.

  16. 'Egiaren 1 atzeratu.
    Gezurren 1i aurrerantz bultza.
    Intuizio eskukada 1 erein.
    Ausardiari maldan behera joaten utzi.
    (...)
    Zalantzaren 1 desaktibatu.
    Eta ezer ez dakizula eskuetan lehertu.
