A new podcast based upon our recent publication about a NLP study of vasectomy and post-vasectomy pain syndrome. Touches additionally on informed consent, sampling problems, and issues associated with the procedure.

I recently published a double-blind refereed data science article about the taboo subjects of vasectomy and post-vasectomy pain syndrome. Following this, The Conversation reached out to write an article about this. It has now been published here: theconversation.com/vasectomy-pa...

The first images from the Vera Rubin Observatory are simply amazing. The sheer discoveries that lie ahead of scientists in the years ahead are, without exaggeration, incredible. Asteroids, variable & moving sources, very low surface brightness relics, cosmology, and more noirlab.edu/public/news/...

Having been on the UK:LSST board since I returned to the UK, these images are simply amazing. I keep staring at them and finding new exciting galaxies and shapes and thinking about how the next generation of scientists will use and exploit them to advance our understanding of the Universe.

Introducing...your sneak peek at the cosmos captured by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory! Can you guess these regions of sky? This is just a small peek...join us at 11am US EDT for your full First Look at how Rubin will #CaptureTheCosmos! 🔭🧪 #RubinFirstLook ls.st/rubin-first-look-livestream

Congratulations to our @uniofhull.bsky.social student, Dr. Sophie Eden, who successfully defended her thesis today; "A search for HI absorption at intermediate redshifts in star-forming galaxies with ASKAP-FLASH".

Congratulations to Professor Bernie Binks, Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry, who has been recognised with a prestigious fellowship of the Royal Society! 👏

The countdown is on to our National Astronomy Meeting this summer! We're very excited about the science that'll be shared at Durham University from 7-11 July. 🪐💫🔭 ☀️ Have you booked your place? If not, find out more about how to do so at: conference.astro.dur.ac.uk/event/7/page...

Random request. I'm looking for example images of LARGE-scale "departmental artwork" that might adorn the walls of your department. e.g., massive printouts of galaxies on the walls of physics / astro depts; fish / species / cells prints outs in bio depts; anything more than 2D?

Great to have Ben Oppenheimer visit @uniofhull.bsky.social E A Milne Centre for a talk about the circumgalactic medium.

In a tight competition, my favourite new arXiv article today is this: www.arxiv.org/abs/2503.22786 "A formula for the area of a triangle: Useless, but explicitly in Deep Sets form." Can't beat the brutal honesty of the abstract making perfectly clear the uselessness of the maths contained therein.

Very much enjoyed visiting U.Portsmouth last week for a seminar on ChatGPT in assessments and degrees (see pinned publication) and a second seminar on the Hubble tension in cosmology. Off to U.Lancaster today for another invited science talk. Fingers crossed for no swans on the lines today!

A new journal from the IoP: AI for Science. iopscience.iop.org/journal/3050... From 2025 to 2027, authors benefit from a full waiver of the article publication charges, so research can reach a global audience at no cost (and no: I'm not on the board!).

Another #abstract #art Binary acrylic pour using own recipe. Monodirectional controlled feathering. Fully dried. Palette knife & paintbrush edge highlighting in crimson red. Foreground black acrylic paint palette knife appliqué. Probably about 30hours to make. Thoughts & name suggestions welcome!

Scrub a dub 🫧 ...except no scrubbing the delicate observatory optics! We don't use cloths or lens cleaner to clean the giant camera lenses. Instead, our summit staff use a high-speed stream of carbon dioxide "snow" to push debris off of the glass surface. 🔭🧪

THREAD The Wonderful World of Wikipedia (WWW) If you are of a certain age, Wikipedia has been a constant in your life. It was not always so. Here is a pre-history, a history and potential future of the world's great shared book that we all read and write. Also why is it called "Wikipedia"? 1/30

I was contacted by people who were concerned this week about the reports of Asteroid YR4 probability of striking planet Earth increasing. This is normal. Let me explain with a dartboard. Imagine planet Earth is sat on triple 20 as a blue circle.

Might be a silly question. Is there an “import” feature for people you were following on Twitter for here to attempt to re-assemble things?

Suggestions for names welcome! #Abstract #art 15cm sq canvas. Acrylic pour (blue, yellow, white) onto a dried black background, then feathering and drip. Final columns added after fully dried in a more normative manner (palette knife). Total creation time of 28 hours. Considering selling.

Applied to the University of Hull? In September, your life could look like this 👀 There's so much to explore in Hull - and we can't wait for you to discover it. 📸 Steph Downing

About a week ago, I provided an interview for the Hull Daily Mail following an independent study demonstrating that U.Hull is the top ranked destination for students wanting to study artificial intelligence! www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/educati...

Easy to see why the University of Hull is a great campus. @universityofhull.bsky.social I also enjoyed very briefly wandering in the art gallery @Hull Uni Library this lunch time too.

The paper on “Can ChatGPT pass a physics degree” is now published with the European Journal of Physics (IoP publishing) - iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Happy to talk to colleagues exploring this issue across academia further / deliver seminars (thanks for the engagement to date!).

Can ChatGPT pass an entire degree? iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... There’s been a lot of opinion and talk about the impact of AI on education for a while, so a colleague and I set about to test ChatGPT against an entire BSc in Physics.

@oyinkanchekwas sat down with DAIM alumni Dayo Oyeyemi to talk about his time at the University of Hull in the first of our new #YouTube alumni series! @HullUniScience @hullalumni #Graduate #AI #Hull #DataScience www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdU2...
