Really good talk for #UK #LGBTHistoryMonth at #UniversityOfYork about her book "Before #Gender
Lost stories from #trans #history 1850-1950" By Eli Erlick https://elierlick.com/beforegender/

I keep seeing placements for #phd researchers to go on placements for ~3 months. They sound like exciting things, particularly for researchers new to the jobs market. Although not for me, I keep getting struck by the number that offer no fee.
While if it’s part of a course for taught programmes, or contributing to research, that’s fine. But blanket “come work for us for three months cause we are great” — that seems incredibly financially discriminatory. #AcademicChatter #UniversityOfYork #UCU @ucu @ucupostgrads

Ooh! #Geothermal #Energy project where I work at #UniversityOfYork #York https://www.york.ac.uk/about/sustainability/campus-operations/climate-action/geothermal-energy/

I’m really excited to start my #PhD by creative practice at #UniversityOfYork. I will be researching dramaturgical tools for live performance lighting designers to use within the production process.
It is a PhD focused on the process of making shows, not the final product.

Excited to be hosting a meeting today with all of the #UniversityOfYork CompSci student society leaders. We'll be discussing the major challenges we face and look at ways to reinvigorate the society scene for the benefit of all students. 🤝

Just been doing some prep work for a talk I'm going to be doing at our Student Union's Student Conference titled:

What is open source & why should I care? | Repairing our relationship with tech (and Europe)

I'll be covering a broad range of topics around the importance of promoting FOSS, especially in the public sector but also at a personal level: examining the damaging impacts that huge corporate monopolies have on our planet, our governments and, perhaps most importantly, us.

I'm hoping it'll help spread awareness about the benefits of open source to a wider audience so if you're at the #UniversityOfYork #UoY then come along! 🙂

Looking back to March: International Development student and University of #Sanctuary Scholar, Joel Mordi, founded the Mordi Ibe Foundation, Nigeria's only charity catering for LGBTQ+ and other vulnerable students to keep them in school, including young people experiencing period poverty. https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2024/community/diana-award-student/ #UniversityOfYork #Nigeria #LGBTQ+ #Charity

I just turned in my #thesis for my MSc in #ComputerScience with #DataAnalytics at #UniversityofYork!

The title of my thesis is “Exploring the impact of data imbalance on ε-Differential Privacy” and I do just that using the open-source Python library developed by IBM, diffprivlib. I’d love to share the results of my experiments in a white paper of some kind. Does anyone I’m connected to have experience in converting a masters thesis into a white paper for a journal or conference?
