A great event indeed (and great PI, thank you LoΓ―c :). It was a joy to connect with the @softwaresaved.bsky.social community and our new group, learn about sustainable software and give a lightning talk - all within the beautiful setting of the university campus in Stirling!

My 3rd SSI Collaboration Workshop last week, an amazing & energising event as always! This one felt extra special: this time I actually had my own group to bring along! Team building + sustainable software, all in one 🌱 #newPI

Thanks @softwaresaved.bsky.social !

What a highlight to attend #CHI2025 in Yokohama last week 🌸

Between paper sessions, my own paper presentation, zine making and coffee chats, I was able to (re)connect with many of my brilliant colleagues and friends.

Thank you to all the organisers for making this such a great event!

Excited to announce that I will be at #CHI2025 presenting the paper I co-authored with Bran Knowles and Adrian Friday 🌱

The paper describes the outcomes of a case study with energy professionals, revealing several "ironies of energy system automation".

It’s time to decarbonise digital research - Research Professional News Researchers are keen to change, but grassroots efforts need stronger support, says Kirsty Pringle

🌳It’s time to decarbonise digital research.🌍

Researchers want to reduce emissions, but we lack the incentives and leadership needed to act effectively.
