Just been to @TescoMiddleton where all these Calatheas are dying. Asked about them being reduced, was flat out refused and informed "customers can choose to buy full price in that conditon"..for £12?! ...wonder if they take the same approach to food... #wasteful#plantwaste
My advice:
- Enjoy every moment, take opportunities as you never know who/what might open up your world
- Look for a supportive environment - especially important when you’re first starting
- If you want to change the world, broaden your horizons! Don’t just look at academia
Great to be at this year’s careers event to current life science undergrads at @Uni_of_Essex

Been thinking about this recently as I’m participating in a career talk at the end of the week for my undergrad department at @Uni_of_Essex which I started in 10 years ago 😳
Can you give career advice when all you’ve done is plodded along trying to work out what to do next? 🤪
social media health messages need to give the gist in a few seconds:
Measles:
-is one of the most contagious diseases
-can be fatal or cause disability or suppress the immune system
- has no treatment
- can be prevented by vaccines
-vaccines are safe and DO NOT cause autism
#Vaccines are the best possible defence against #measles, #mumps and #rubella. Make sure your child gets both doses of the #MMR vaccine to protect them and others from these serious diseases.

@g_progesterone Yeah that is true! I think learning about creating dummy data should be one of the first things someone should learn in their coding journey to tackle this potentially?
I agree with everything in this thread, the QA process in academic (in my experience) was pretty poor in hindsight, and quite often data science work is lead by supervisors who have never written a line of code!
What’s the solution when academics already have so little time?

@g_progesterone I agree with you but I experienced some groups not wanting to share code or data externally incase ‘someone steals it” 🙄
And I think as a beginner I was absolutely mortified sharing anything so I tried not to for as long as possible which wasn’t helpful 🤦🏻♀️
Had the pleasure of attending the #fieldservice@UKHSA away day last week at @surreycricket
As a geographically diverse division, it’s lovely to see some faces in person! 🥰
The Gastrointestinal tracker was the first major project I worked on as part of the Regions Data Science team, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Congratulations to all the speakers and people who contributed a poster which made for an excellent event.
2 days at #UKHSA23 completed ✅
Delighted to have had the opportunity to attend the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds over the last 2 days, especially to see the poster I worked on in the flesh 😍 @UKHSA
