Was great to visit @ncar-cisl.bsky.social last week in Boulder and Cheyenne, we have a centre to centre collaboration via the #EPSRC #CONTINENTS project and they have some really impressive facilities and work. Great discussions ahead of then travelling to St. Louis for #SC25 this week

Steve Dean from HPE kicking off the “Sustainable Supercomputing” workshop at #SC25 - the room is pretty packed already, but there are a few more seats in room 264 if you want to join. Lots of interesting presentations still to come!

That's the @epcc.bsky.social #SC25 booth set up. Come and find us at #2836
