Morning.

In Katowice for the Silesian Science Festival & some #JWST talks.

And in the hotel bar with us last night, the cast & crew of the Original Enigma Voices tour, who we talked to.

Yes, *that* Enigma 😱

You can’t make this stuff up. One for #SpaceRocks, perhaps? 🙂

I could stare at these images all day and they still wouldn’t compute somehow. Great work by @markmccaughrean to bring them a little more down to Earth. #jwst #spacerocks 🖖🤘#katowice

A foggy Blade Runner evening in Katowice, looking out from the International Conference Centre. Sometimes it can be good to have a smeary lens 🤪

Today’s talk on #JWST done – I’ll have 33% more time for the same talk tomorrow, so will be able to speak more slowly & spare the nerves of the simultaneous translator a little 😱

United Federation of Instances now has hundreds of thousands of users! We had a few more join last night.

DM me if you want to join, be a founding member. Joining will be a much harder process once we launch in about a week.

I've been reading Martin Weller "Metaphors of edtech" A good read to deepen our understanding of edtech.

#introduction

👋 Hello from #Zurich!

I'm a researcher working at the intersection of #neurosciene and #ai. Before joining Google's #connectomics team earlier this year, I did my PhD advised by @jakhmack on simulation-based Inference (#sbi).

Excited to see Mastodon gaining momentum!

For many many years I've reviewed and recommended kids' books about space. After a couple-year hiatus, I'm finally back at it! I'll use this thread to review and recommend books to give to kids of all ages, or to libraries or schools.

I have a biiiiiiiiig pile to sort through. First up: my recommendations for kids ages 0-3:

This is NGC 2359, Thor's Helmet Nebula. Also called the Duck Nebula, but between you and me, I'm not seeing the duck. This is 2 1/2 hours of it. When the rain and the moon go away again I'm going to try for 10-15 hours of this one.

Italy is now home to another famous Leonardo! 💻
Meet Europe's new #Supercomputer — the 4th most powerful in the world.

Capable of 250 million billion calculations per second, Leonardo will enable scientific breakthroughs in health, climate, and clean energy technologies.

You certainly don't get #skies quite like this here in the UK! This is me under the spectacular #starry skies above the #ESO #LaSilla #Observatory in #Chile. Above and to the right you can see the Large and Small #MagellanicClouds. These are relatively small galaxies that orbit our #MilkyWay #Galaxy. Literally galaxy moons!

Any time you need to escape from this world, drop by the PlanetaryLightShow site & watch flickering auroras on Saturn and Jupiter. Beautiful and mind-boggling.

'Laugh now...' Banksy's monkey trade mark is valid.

The 5th Board of Appeal of the EUIPO confirms it.

In a decision on Case R1246/2021-5, the Board of Appeal annuls the cancellation of the EUTM and rules that there is no bad faith (the Cancellation Division considered that Banksy never had any intention to use the mark).
