In the five months of cleanup operations with System 002 (aka Jenny), we have recorded 40,273kg plastic collected (or 1/2500th of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch).

As a frontline doctor in London - you really really need to take this seriously - it is bad - it is really bad - already - and it’s predicted to be worse by next weekend - too many people really don’t get it yet - stay indoors!! Seriously! #FlattenTheCurve #COVID19 @doctor_oxford

Instead of 🚆to work I ran in the park 6K, collected 6 coins 💰 (picture) and I won the sight of a beautiful 🦌 😍. Ready to start working.

I've just had a really insightful chat with @PoppyGustafsson whose @Darktrace team is 40% women. I would love to talk to other companies that have tech teams at 40% . We @FT Product and Tech are 36% female & are committed to getting to 50% by 2022. Let me know if you know any.

Interesting book about the implications of algorithms in our society. AI explained with real cases that make you think.

The first plastic has arrived on shore. Next stop: September 2020, when we aim to launch the first product made out of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Learn more: products.theoceancleanup.com

I will try to remember the second example 😂
Plant trees in UK to solve climate change is the solution that my 6 years would have suggested. I hope these politician have better ideas or we should have better politicians.
Maximum support to the @England team to play that match. Right decision. #ThreeLions against racism 👍

I'm a 1x engineer. I Google how to do seemingly simple stuff daily. I experience impostor syndrome. I write code that has bugs in it. I sometimes need to read the documentation. I don't always "get it" immediately. I'm OK with this. #1xEngineer
