4 people are in there with hopes, dreams, risk and the unknown. It makes me breathless, knowing how they're feeling and what they're facing. So exciting to see what we're capable of when we work together in common purpose, deciding to push back the edges of our collective ignorance. Have a great voyage, crew of @NASAArtemis!

In Northern Ireland, external bowel cancer screening is offered between the ages 60-74 but in England, Scotland and Wales it starts at 50, if early screening saves lives - why is NI treated differently? From ⁦@Ailser99bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

DCMS have commissioned some experimental work on measuring crowds at unticketed events. The Giants Causeway was part of the study & discovered that the AI model used in a popular crowd monitoring software couldn’t distinguish ‘person’ from ‘basalt column’.
