The @HarperAdamsUni #DataScience team focused on 3 key use case themes: Asset Management, Rural Health and Precision Agriculture. We'll be spotlighting our 7 use cases which cover #Agriculture , #Wildlife #Conservation & #AnimalWelfare over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more!
Still a day to go to apply for our phenotyping and remote sensing PhD under CTP SAI. The deadline is tomorrow. Last reminder to apply and get considered: ctp-sai.org/projects-for-202…
Data Science, Remote Sensing, and Agronomy came together in our latest paper investigating the implications of planting configurations on the performance of field-transplanted hybrid potato crops:

Today is the 150th meeting of our local #RStats users group, HARUG! The Harper Adams R Users Group. Wow. @HarperAdamsUni #statistics #DataScience
Meta's contributions to open source software are nothing short of amazing:
The Detectrons, Pytorch, React, GraphQL, SAM, the Llama LLMs the list goes on and on. Now they're saying if they achieve AGI it will be open sourced... What a body of work!
Time to look at depth heatmaps of every random object in the office 🙂 Always liked the Intel realsense camera @EdHarris9000 @wager_georgina

The beauty of time-lapse earth observation: the Shire river has been messing around with the idea of forming a mini-island near Nchalo since the 80s, and had a meander that tempts of a future oxbow lake. I wonder how these two features have held up to cyclone Freddy...

Stressed plants ‘cry’ — and some animals can probably hear them. Plants that need water or have recently had their stems cut produce up to roughly 35 sounds per hour, this study found. But well-hydrated and uncut plants are much quieter, making only about one sound per hour

Got my turn to try out Google's #bard LLM. I like that it is current, no cut-off date on training data. I got factual errors within my first 5 questions though, and it confused and contradicted itself on follow up questions. Some way to go, but exciting times!
Impressive! Hope the map objects can be embedded in bokeh, dash, streamlit etc seamlessly
