Global equity of data is only possible when countries can have ownership and generate their own data. Data equity and access to infrastructure is so important. A great presentation by @ebi.embl.org Interim Director Dr. Joanna McEntyre @abacbs.bsky.social #ABACBS2025

Hey #abacbs #abacbs2025 if you're having trouble getting on to the "Adelaide Oval Free WIFI", check your wifi's DNS server settings. Clear it and go back to defaults, so you can get through the auth.

Adelaide buses are a lot quieter than Sydney ones. There’s no “ding, ding, ding” as everyone taps off. People aren’t shouting “open the back door!!!” And most surprising, everyone just raises their hand and salutes the bus driver instead of yelling “thank you!!” from halfway down the bus?

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
