Since halving my #sertraline dose, down to 50mg / day, my brain feels like it’s halved in processing power. Words are more difficult to find, my speech is slower, my thought patterns and creativity are stifled. I’m generally more lethargic. On the plus side I’m less agitated and less prone to angry outbursts. If only I could have all of the good bits and none of the bad. That’s not really h…

Home and dry now - there was a bigger turn out than you'd have thought, but at least we all got home in time to watch Le Mans 😃

Measuring the co-evolution of online engagement with (mis)information and its visibility at scale
Online attention is an increasingly valuable resource in the digital age, with extraordinary events such as the COVID-19 pandemic fuelling fierce competition around it. As misinformation pervades online platforms, users seek credible sources, while news outlets compete to attract and retain their attention. Here we measure the co-evolution of online "engagement" with (mis)information and its "visibility", where engagement corresponds to user interactions on social media, and visibility to fluct…

Bayesian nonparametric clustering for spatio-temporal data, with an application to air pollution
Air pollution is a major global health hazard, with fine particulate matter (PM10) linked to severe respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Hence, analyzing and clustering spatio-temporal air quality data is crucial for understanding pollution dynamics and guiding policy interventions. This work provides a review of Bayesian nonparametric clustering methods, with a particular focus on their application to spatio-temporal data, which are ubiquitous in environmental sciences. We first introduce …

Two rather different implementations of a V10 engined car, today at the Down Royal Motor show.
