Making this documentary changed how we think. Our exploration of assistive technology became a story about connection, embodiment and possibility. Introducing "Speaking in This Moment." #Documentary #AssistiveTechnology #HumanPotential

Can technology be an extension of our bodies? Using my wheelchair feels so intuitive that I barely think about it. Yet I also love exploring what I can do without it. Independence isn't about using more technology. It's about having choices. #AssistiveTechnology #Disability #HumanAugmentation

Filming day @rigb.org AI and assistive technology can give disabled people greater independence, but communication is more than transmitting words. It’s timing, humour, emotion and spontaneity. What makes you feel genuinely heard in a conversation? #AssistiveTechnology #AI #Disability

The AI-in-education debate needs to go beyond copyright. The bigger question is how we teach students to use AI to enhance creativity rather than outsource it. AI is moving faster than education policy. So what should change first? #AI #Education #CreativeAI #EdTech

Okay, so I couldn’t get into the event I was planning to attend because of a lack of wheelchair access. Not ideal. But sometimes you just have to make the best of the situation, find another route, and enjoy the view. #Accessibility #London #Disability #Perspective #résilience

When it comes to AI, Britain is falling behind America and China. We produce world-class tech talent. That isn’t the issue. The issue is what happens next. Too often, promising UK firms are acquired early, founders exit, and the value creation shifts overseas.

Why is AI suddenly so powerful? Because of one breakthrough: transformers. Instead of reading a sentence word by word, transformers use attention, which lets them see the whole sentence at once — and understand how every word connects.

Congratulations @atlasexperiment.bsky.social! We won a Breakthrough Prize. For smashing particles at near light speed and surviving the collisions...as well as for measuring the properties of the Higgs! Here's to many more discoveries in fundamental physics at @cern.bsky.social

A certificate of the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, awarded to Claire Malone and colleagues in the ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The certificate recognises detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties, discovery of new strongly interacting particles, studies of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and exploration of nature under extreme conditions at CERN. The certificate is dated April 5, 2025, and signed by Pete Worden, Chairman of the Breakthrough Prize Foundation.

🎧 Writers, do you do this too? When I’m working on fiction, I often use music to get into the mindset—and even the voice—of my characters. A melody, rhythm, or lyric can help me tune into their tone in a way nothing else can. Curious to know, do any other writers out there use music like this?
