This time, at the 2026 University of Reading Department of #Meteorology's Research Away-Day, we had a larger auditorium in the #PalmerBuilding (and hence more space) than during the same event in 2024. (click on thumbnail to see the composite photo). #ResearchAwayDay @uniofreading.bsky.social

The @uniofreading.bsky.social #Meteorology Dept's Research Away-Day is all day on Monday. I helped to organize the whole Away-Day, as well as the “Upskilling with AI/LLM tools’ breakout session there, and I’ll be speaking during the breakout session about ‘AI for #Programming’. #AI

Really proud of this paper. Over the course of a year, we sampled PM2.5 in >300 houses in Bradford. This work package was led by myself and @profrosiemc.bsky.social and involved a dedicated team of atmospheric and health researchers bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....
