From research to action 💥
Two weeks ago, the SOC-MISC team hosted a workshop with Dr Mégane Acheche. Her clinical expertise at Besançon University Hospital is key to laying the foundations for some important next steps of the SOC-MISC project.
More information coming soon!
With the support of Fondation Solimut and the ERC.

As the most popular attraction in Glacier National Park, Going-to-the-Sun Road (GTSR) traverses scenic alpine zones and crosses the Continental Divide. The park closes a section of GTSR each winter due to inclement weather, heavy snowfall, and avalanche hazards. Since 2003, efforts to open the road each spring rely on a USGS-National Park Service partnership based on the expertise of USGS avalanche scientists, who provide on-site avalanche forecasting. The applied research from ongoing USGS avalanche studies supports forecasting efforts that guide the safety of this hazardous road opening operation each year.

The WAS USGS seismometer picked up a M 6.5 earthquake located 4 km NNW of Rancho Viejo, Mexico—about 2,300 miles from the Westport Observatory—this morning at 8:58 AM. The planet never whispers. https://bcespquakes.com/ftp_files/WSPT_Screen.html

Honoured to present at SISMES 2025 the results of our research conducted at AUT SPRINZ (New Zealand), supervised by Dr Eric Helms.
The study explored high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) applications in resistance training, contributing to a deeper understanding of neuromuscular excitation patterns.
Great discussions, valuable feedback, and a reminder of why I love doing research.

I will miss Science In Action. The last episode went out yesterday.
Science in Action will finish at the end of this month! I will miss it dearly.
Private Eye has picked up on the news that Science in Action is to be dropped later this year from the BBC World Service, just one of several wide-ranging cost-cutting changes. Obviously, we're trying to push back. It's not just that I love working on the programme, there are new discoveries and critical issues aplenty each week to dig into, but we try hard always to fulfil a need for our global audience, representing research from across the planet, and to dig deeper into the science than (say) is possible on news programmes. We are also more reactive than many science broadcasts. It also has a long pedigree - seems a pity to abandon a 60+year history on the altar of short-term cuts. It was disconcerting to be told by management that this was the science output to be dropped, and simultaneously that more of our stories should be picked up elsewhere on the BBC. Anyway - we're not dead yet. | 50 comments on LinkedIn
The Olex2 User Meeting at STOE & Cie GmbH has wrapped up! Huge thanks to the Olex2 team Michael Bodensteiner, Horst Puschmann, Florian Kleemiß and Birgit Hischa, and all participants for the great discussions and shared insights. I’ve learned a lot and really enjoyed having everyone here! 🤓
Looking forward to the next opportunity to learn and exchange ideas together!
