One very nice espresso

Last of ESCMID

Another day at ESCMID Global 2026. Happy to chat all things real world evidence!

The former conductor of the Johannesburg Symphony choir, and associated South African orchestras was Richard Cock.

The great thing about travelling is how many books I get to time to read.

Stress headache, and the one thing I didn’t pack in the rush yesterday were painkillers.

When I got up this morning I didn’t think I’d end the day in Munich, but here I am.

And now flying tonight. Stress levels intensified

Having a flight cancelled two days before a work trip is not great for stress levels.

I’ve got a new hit for gg grandfather Leander!

This is so blasphemous, and I don’t use that word lightly

That’s stunning

This is not my dog. But apparently I am now his temporary person.

Awkward. I mean I like Radiohead, but they’re absolutely not the two best albums ever.

Looking forward to #ESCMID next week. Happy to chat all things real world evidence there.

It’s a deeply annoying one, and I’ve given up for the moment.

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it moved in front of the sunlit side of Earth last month. This view shows the fully illuminated “dark side” of the moon that is never visible from Earth. Ian Regan processed this version of the image to account for the Moon's motion.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable.

The Armed Man is just a stunning work, glad it’s finally number 1

you know the way "why did the Roman Empire fall" and "what are the causes of the First World War" are big questions that sort of function like Rorsharch tests, allowing people to debate ultimately inexplicable moments in history? "Why did no one stop Trump" a decent future shout for the third.

On Easter, Pope Leo urges world leaders to end wars, renounce conquest Pope Leo urged global leaders in his Easter message on Sunday to end the conflicts raging across the world and ​abandon any schemes for power, conquest or domination.

A complete set of canonical nucleobases in the carbonaceous asteroid (162173) Ryugu - Nature Astronomy Samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five canonical nucleobases (A, G, C, T and U). Their presence in Ryugu and Bennu supports the hypothesis that carbonaceous asteroids contributed to the prebiotic chemical inventory of early Earth.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
