Greetings from University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada! I led a workshop here on Tuesday as part of ACM REP '25, and today is the last day of the conference. It is beautiful here, highly recommended.

That's the end of my first #CollabW25 Collaborations Workshop. Amazing week of work on research software community matters, great people and beautiful Stirling setting. Also the largest dosa I've ever ordered for myself, and more oystercatchers than any other conference.

I've been using this feature when transferring from Google Docs to GitHub/Markdown, it is very welcome.
Google Docs pro tip: Tools --> Preferences --> check Enable Markdown. You can write **markdown** inline with `code` chunks etc and it'll format automatically. Bonus, copy to markdown and paste from markdown.

Yes, you can use ChatGPT to help you draft a cover letter. But you have to realize that the person reading the letters will then see the same phrases over and over. 🙄
"particularly within the X and Y projects" at the end of the 1st paragraph is the catchphrase that I've read over 5 times already

Yes! Alt text is useful and quickly becomes second nature to do. But when one forgets (as I sometimes do), the prompting is a big help.
