Shame and may backfire. As a local resident I've hosted 100s of visitors over the years and accompanied many (who then buy a full price ticket) on a tour of the castle. I won't be doing that any more.

Proud to be showcasing our new #digitalfutures lab as part of the @UniWestLondon #openday. Come and see some gaming and VR in action. #loveuwl

Some really good advice from @DrEleanorDrage - trust your own experience and judgement when applying AI in our institutions. There is no magic dust #ucisa24

Can we balance bias? What is bias? Don't ask if AI is good or fair, ask how it shifts power? @DrEleanorDrage quotes Kalluri. The world is an unequal place. #ucisa24

@DrEleanorDrage kicks off #ucisa24 with some practical and ethical advice on using AI (and she continues today's pink theme). She "puts cool people in touch with other cool people."

#ucisa24 gets underway with "two ladies of a certain age in pink". Looking forward to a great event, some interesting keynotes and good debate. Special welcome to UCISA's international peers too.

How is it possible that the mobile signal on the West Coast Mainline #wcml is so bad? It keeps cutting out and I'm lucky to have Edge when it works at all. We're in the mid 2020s for goodness sake. Come on @AvantiWestCoast and @VodafoneUK you must be able to do better!

#HS2 can't come soon enough. Trying to get from England's number 1 city (London) this morning to number 2 (Birmingham). @AvantiWestCoast have cancelled my booked train and now I'm sat on some poxy slow train with a change at Nuneaton in order to just get there in time for my mtg.

@PaulCManning Hmm... Windows 11 Enterprise, Build 22621.2361, Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22674.1000.0 here. Maybe only rolled out to Insider Release Preview?

Really excited to try out the new #microsoft #copilot for #windows11 today, so downloaded the Cumulative Update Preview for Windows (KB5030310) only to find no copilot functionality. Guess it's not got as far as the UK yet? Anyone else noticed this?

#OnThisDay 1792 Anne Milbanke (Lady Byron) was born. A committed campaigner, she argued for the abolition of slavery and established the #Ealing Grove School in 1833 for children of humble backgrounds. See her plaque outside @UniWestLondon #ExploreYourArchive #EYALocal

Delighted to have been part of a panel discussion on cyber security today at #THEdigitalUK with @UCISACEO and James Crooks. Also quoted in an article on cyber security published by @timeshighered today: timeshighereducation.com/news/cyber-att…

@Jisc Just picking up on this sad news. Andrew has been a stalwart of knowledge and insight over the years. And I'm sure I speak for many at @ucisa in sending our thoughts to his family, friends and colleagues. RIP Andrew.

It was with great sadness that we learned last week of the passing of our colleague and friend Andrew Cormack. He will be greatly missed by colleagues at Jisc as well as across the sector and beyond ji.sc/3mBuUDj

@EUNIS_IT @UCISA Happy birthday back! And yes, I'm sure there's lots we can do together going forward...

@adrian_ellison @UCISA Happy Birthday from your European friends! We also turn 30 this year and look forward to growing middle-aged together.

Even the dessert is on brand tonight.... happy 30th birthday!! @ucisa #UCISA23

Having been on a longish journey by train today, I am wondering why people choose to have video calls on speakerphone with it either cutting out or with others listening. Why don't they wait until they get to their destination? #heyho

On the train back. Add my thanks again to everyone for a great 3 days. Safe travels.

Rob O'Donohue ran a session at Gartner "Awkward white men talk about diveristy and inclusion". As an awkward white man, I can relate to that! #UCISA23

Great quite from Matthew McConaughey: Commit to making A's in those few things, instead of B's and C's in a lot of things. #UCISA23

How much world is left to change...?? Anyone can change the world!! What a great way to end day 2 of #ucisa23 with Mateo Salvatto.
