I’m (probably) not replaceable by ChatGPT

Throughout my career in science AI and automation have been things that were ever-improving tools in helping do science quicker and in bulk. AI and machine learning have slowly been improving the rate of data processing and even expanding the kind of data processing that’s possible. Automation has led to Read more…

Strange odd numbers

This article has exactly 516 words. I could have easily made it a nice round 515 but I purposely left one word out just make it an odd number. My reason for this is firstly to slightly bother those with a phobia of typos and mistakes in text but also Read more…

The problem with clouds of data everywhere

Some years ago now, I started a new project. I went into the project with a lot of bold ideas about everything from what to buy, and what side projects I could start – and even one or two ideas about maybe doing the actual project. But one idea that I Read more…

I am an ardent supporter of open data. In fact, I am such a big fan I even published all of my PhD data back in 2013. It was mostly very boring but I know of at least one dataset that was used (albeit briefly) by another group. I thought that Read more…

SET for Britain, an attendees story

Now, before I start, I need to explain something – I attended SET for Britain in early March and the original post was written shortly after. However, there was one point I wasn’t happy with, that needed further investigation. Which then took 3 months. So apologies for the time delay, but it’s very Read more…

5 ways people screw up controls in their data

In the last few weeks I’ve reviewed a load of reports, papers, and some data for a colleague. Basically, I’ve spent a few weeks reading all about other people’s data. It’s nice but mildly frustrating that I’m not generating my own (about half my lab is down for maintenance). The one Read more…

Basically coding

Like it or not coding is now a major part of science. Some might debate that point but this is my column and these articles go a lot better if you all just agree with me. Also, by coding, I mean programming or writing scripts that make computers go. I feel I Read more…
