When not paragliding off the Cullins I can be found #procrastinating here. Opinions are my own. RB does not necessarily mean endorsement.Does not understand the concept of staying in my lane.

Happy Lunar New Year 🧧

HAPPY NEW (work) YEAR!

Back in the office so it's time to ask once more for help with our #ScottishGaelic research!

We believe that folks should be able to engage with information in their preferred language. To that end, our project aims to develop #chatbots for exhibits at the National Museum of Scotland.

To build these chatbots we need example conversations. Anyone who can read+write #Gàidhlig can participate by expressing interest here: https://forms.office.com/r/ZgWJTWHsC6

Pays up to £30 for 2 hours.

Happy New year. It has been a mad few weeks with my Mum having an MI catching covid in hospital and being symptomatic 24 hours after coming home Taking care of Dad too who also caught covid. I am so thankful to the NHS Scotland they saved and stented my mum and d/c her as quickly as possible they vaccinated her so fighting her covid was a possibility. My families care has been excellent: None of us would be alive without them.#ThankYouNHSScotland
This is the best holiday season gift: well done to the Scottish Government. Changing gender to be made easier in Scotland https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-64066938
Changing gender to be made easier in Scotland

A new law will simplify the process of transitioning, but the UK government says it has concerns and may step in.

Any pundit who is criticizing Pres. Zelenskyy's attire is failing to read the room, but moreover, they're just completely missing the point.

A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats have no time for suits and neckties.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes or epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He's wearing what women and men who are fighting on the frontlines in Ukraine are wearing.

He's wearing the urgency of the moment.

That's the point.

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.

Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.

How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Sexism pushed Rosalind Franklin toward the scientific sidelines during her short life, but her work still shines on her 100th birthday

Franklin was born a century ago, and her X-ray crystallography work crucially contributed to determining the structure of DNA.
