@MaryamShoai So true

Ehem students. Use AI but not for running away from the work! You won't have the skills needed to problem solve ==> You will not develop as a researcher without that effort. If what should be a crutch becomes a constant companion you won't learn how to walk!

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

@MaryamShoai Yeah I wish I could delete and never look back. It’s like a bad crack addition you know you should quit but can’t quite.

@alan_michael_p I have seriously questioned whether I should stay or not! He is a vile man and I don't want to contribute to his success even one iota!

Just booked a trip to Switzerland but had to check where the racist hotspots are. Not a surprise far right is on the rise when people like EM are fanning the flames of prejudice and racism.
