@QEPrize @sciencemuseum This year's award to modern Machine Learning touched home! I believe it has been beautifully presented: first, the algorithms that allowed learning; then, the hardware innovations in GPUs that made them feasible; and finally, the much-needed data to train the models! #QEPrize2025

Only 15.7% of the engineering workforce are women and only 3% of statues in the UK are of non-royal women. We need more contemporary, representative and inspiring role models. That's why for #NationalEngineeringDay we've worked with artist Kelly Anna to produce our own. A UK
