I came back from #RSECon25 with Covid. Not the nicest of swag to bring back home. But today my medicine arrived. And for those of you who are not originally from South Africa ... it is biltong. And, biltong fixes everything. So I should be up and about again soon.

How committed should we be open source? I get the idea that to many it is just an afterthought or something that people like to talk about to sound sincere about supporting something good but when they go back to the office they are quite content to use Word on their Windows operating system.

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."
