Congratulations to all project leads & co investigators. These seed projects were funded from a long list of 76 applications. @GrandChallenges

I was pleased to chair this event during London Data Week showcasing ways UCL researchers work with communities to ensure they can use data on ways that solve issues they face. Part of UCL @GrandChallenges Data Empowered Societies.

Using a massive, newly-established proteomics database, researchers found that a gene variant known to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease also makes people vulnerable to a host of other age-related brain disorders. Ftom @Nature

Scientists hide messages in papers to game AI peer review from @Nature.

Learning from Niall Robinson about the tools @nvidia makes to help people (eg in universities) solve problems. Great presentation at UCL Advanced Research Computing Festival.

Liqun He from @uclknowledgelab @IOE_London presents research on Evaluating Educational LLMs at UCL Advanced Research Computing Festival. Liqun brings together Speech Act Theory with Predictive Modelling to create a promising way forward for dialogue analysis.

At UCL Advanced Research Computing Festival, @Lou_Chisholm outlines SRC demonstrator cases.

UCL Advanced Research Computing Festival begins with Emily Richardson @awscloud talking about her career pathway into advanced research computing and data science. Advice for those providing professional development support is ‘skills are not as valuable as capacity to learn’.

Delighted to have been awarded STFC NFCS NetworkPlus funding to explore Inclusive Futures: User stories and mapping pathways for National Federated Compute Services with @FDurandelfierro & @eileenkennedy01 @uclknowledgelab @IOE_London. Working with @HartreeCentre @EdinburghUni.

This afternoon a group from across UCL have been developing future missions to support ‘Data and Social coal Change’ as part of the @UCL @GrandChallenges in Data Empowered Societies. Ideas may be developed for our next funding call.

This morning a group of us from across UCL have been developing future missions to support ‘Knowing & Deciding With Data’ as part of the UCL @GrandChallenges in Data Empowered Societies. Ideas may be developed for our next funding call.

Today we are running two sandpit events for @GrandChallenges Data Empowered Societies at @wellcome #London. Focussing on ‘Knowing abd deciding with data’ and ‘Data and Social Change’.

@GrandChallenges Thank you to all our @GrandChallenges Principal Investigators for presenting UCL’s work in empowering communities with data and to the Knowledge Quarter for hosting us. What a wonderful event!
