I’m pleased to have contributed insights to this POST report, specifically on #legal questions & #cybersecurity #safety in the #Metaverse @BrunelLaw @BrunelPolicy
By 2026, it's expected a quarter of all people will spend at least an hour a day in the metaverse. What might this mean for sectors like business and education, and what are the risks? Find out more: post.parliament.uk/research-…

The metaverse is the next stage of the changing internet, and this research briefing for the UK's Parliament – peer reviewed by @Bruneluni bio-law and AI expert Dr Pin Lean Lau (@PLLau5) – explains its positive impacts and its new risks.

Happy to have contributed to this comprehensive report on stakeholder perspectives on facial recognition in policing. @PolicingInsight @BrunelLaw
Facial recognition is hailed by advocates as the biggest policing advance since DNA, but by opponents as dangerous and intrusive technology; a new report by Policing Insight – Facing the future: the rise of facial recognition in policing – examines all sides of the argument, with input from 34 police leaders, academics, legal experts, campaign groups and suppliers from across the UK as well as Europe, Australasia and North America, interviewed by James Sweetland to give you all the information you need on one of today’s most complex police technology debates. ❝Some of you reading this will know more about FR than others and, for some readers, this piece may be a real eye-opener into how policing is transforming and becoming more intelligence driven and precise.❞ - Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, National Police Chiefs'​ Council (NPCC) Chair policinginsight.com/news/gam… @jl_sweetland @CCGavinStephen @PoliceChiefs #lawenforcement #policing #police #technology #facialrecognition #biometrics

Twitter please can you help by sharing and tagging anyone who might help? Liz is 16 and lives to take photographs. She has a rare and aggressive cancer which doctors have told her means she has between 6 months and 3 years to live. We hope every day for a lifetime for her but if we can’t achieve that we hope to create her a lifetime of memories. If we can make even one of her photography bucket list happen for her she will be beyond delighted. Liz would love to: Photograph the rehearsal of a major musical @OfficialALW @HamiltonWestEnd @sixthemusical @lesmisofficial @PhantomOpera @StarlightExp @MatildaMusical @TheLionKing Watch the filming of Would I Lie To You @WILTY_TV @BBC1 Have photographs published in as many magazines as possible @hellomag @GraziaUK @BritishVogue @ELLEUK @harpersbazaarus @okmagworldwide @Tivoli Take photographs of the catwalk at London Fashion Week @LondonFashionWk Photograph circus performers practicing their act @CircusVegasUK @planetcircusuk Help film a movie @PinewoodStudios @ElstreeStudios @EalingStudios Photograph a music festival @glastonbury @liveatleedsfest Take photos of the Christmas markets at Tivoli Gardens Do a photo shoot with professional models @IMGmodels @StormModels @Wilhelmina @PremierModels Take photos in a fashion shoot at a big fashion house @MulberryEngland @FollowWestwood @victoriabeckham @Burberry @StellaMcCartney @PaulSmithDesign She would also jump at any other photography based opportunities.

*Rant incoming. As a single mum of a young adult daughter (18), I knew, with dread, that this day would come. Women/mums- we can prepare our children for all the good & evil in the world out there but it still blindsides you when untoward things happen. 1/3

Girl is first in an empty bus. Chooses elevated window seat, listening to her music on headphones. Older man in 50s with a walking cane, fixated on her as he enters, chooses to sit beside her. Note: the entire bus is empty. There are seats for the less mobile, disabled, etc. 2/3

He leers at her, tries to talk to her, presses against her. She is uncomfortable. He gives her no space to move. She tries to ignore him in silence. All the while, very much aware of his presence, his lasciviousness. Why the actual fuck do some men behave this way? 3/3 #disgust

Pleased to share our recent work generating a human embryoid model. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… In light of recent press coverage which has unfortunately sensationalized our unpublished results, we feel it is necessary to provide a version of our data as soon as possible. 1/
