Our AI cubed team, part of the Data & AI services portfolio led by @drsiant, are doing brilliant work. Read about their trip to visit DBT France and their participation in a hackathon to challenge misinformation digitaltrade.blog.gov.uk/202…
I had an issue @Tesco. After paying for shopping the trolley stopped moving at the door. As it was unexpected, it stopped, I didn't, and so I bashed my stoma on the handle. It hurt.
An assistant came, told me it was fine. It wasn't. I can't find how to complain. Any help welcome.
On train to the office. Short formation so no seats. No space. @Se_Railway what is the refund policy. 07.48 Rochester to Cannon St.

#ODCamp we have a range of vacancies at Department for Business and Trade. jobs.jobvite.com/digitaltrad…
Also some contractor roles. Do reach out - I can forward to the relevant person leading recruitment.
At AI in healthcare - #ODCamp session - are we sure that we are actually doing basic analysis and data linking? Start at the beginning.
Pleased to see this being 'normalised'. The bowel prep is certainly the worst. But talking about stuff is important. I was less lucky but so far have lived to tell the tale. In my experience, if you are less lucky you will not be informed by post!

Probably my last Twitter anniversary but for anyone I know still here, I also got an MBE! For Public Service - quite a momentous occasion, so I also wrote a blog. link.medium.com/FbHxmxkXbwb

Why is it so hard to keep running info up to date @Se_Railway - just walked a few miles to Strood to get a train via Maidstone to make a hospital appointment. Your info says they are running but none have run and the next one is cancelled too. Now to walk home!
Presentation from Tom raising interesting points on Longditudinal data - how do we make sure that this data collection continues in tightening budgets? #databites @ifgevents

#ostomyawareness day - some Commonwealth Games photos - spectating with my daughter and officiating the long jump. It doesn't have to restrict you! #bagwhatbag
I went to an awayday with work today. It is my second week of full time work. First with twice as much responsibility as my jobshare @51M0NW left last Friday.
I survived the week and the day. #hero #ostomate #cancerwarrior
