I've been learning a lot about medtech since I joined @FRE_SCI. The EU-funded MiWear project is developing a wearable device to monitor metabolic syndrome - a group of health problems that put you at risk of type 2 diabetes or conditions that affect your heart or blood vessels.

We were shocked to discover that our new website emitted more carbon than 74% of websites globally but after taking the steps described in this blog, its carbon rating improved to A+ - hurrah! We hope this can help others facing the same challenge. buff.ly/488cv4c

What a honour to be part of the fantastic organising committee of the Stempra Scotland event. We had great sessions on communicating controversial research, journalism and AI. Thanks so much to everyone who spoke, chaired, asked questions or attended! #SciComm

Do not put anything controversial, confidential or personal in an AI tool because they will use your inputs for training. @BenVerinder has professional plans for all the tools he uses because you can turn this off #StempraScotland

Tools to be aware of in AI: Future Tools collates them. Others are: Suno - creates songs from prompts (check out sad porcupine jazz, heavy on the saxophone) Predictive responses and text tailored to you personally PowerPoint designer And more... @BenVerinder #StempraScotland

We're having great sessions today at the Stempra Scotland event. What a priviledge it's been to be involved in organising the event with such a lovely group of people. #scicomm
