Beat me to it.

I can imagine that some form of AI could be used to extract information from data sources in my field (geotechnics), but fundamentally an AI wouldn't be able to judge what information may or may not be pertinent, certainly not in a form that would satisfy our PI insurers.

Interesting article, but it’s not true of all architecture courses. There are increasing numbers of technical courses, like ours at Leeds, linked to engineering schools where students learn eg structures, geotechnics, water, maths and building physics too. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/arti...
‘Professional buck-passers’: why the excoriating Grenfell report was right to damn architects
The ultimate responsibility for the tower’s safety lay with its architect, said the 1,700-page report, which highlighted a ‘widespread failure among the profession’. Why are so many architects now utt...

Also Tonkin & Taylor are a good follow on the socials & seem very genuine about social issues, so it's very odd they are making a statement about this issue.
International Transgender Day of Visibility 66 We may be a targeted community in the eyes of some people, but we are also fighting back so we can keep on thriving and living. Layton Rumble - she/they loT (Internet of Things) Technician, Geotechnics NZ I Rainbow Committee Co-Chair A group photo for International Women's Day tonkintaylor We're committed to sustaining our industry's future through collaborations that engage diverse, talented young people. Alongside Beca and EY (Ernst & Young) we took part in a signing ceremony at The University of Auckland on 19 March, marking our commitment to student-led association, Ngã Tauira Mãori (NTM). NTM promotes Tikanga Mãori and Te Reo Mãori, supporting Maori students to pursue their aspirations. Their Haerenga programme provides regional outreach and promotes tertiary education and career pathways for rangatahi Mãori. Our collaboration with Beca and EY ensures Haerenga will continue in 2025. The event engaged rangatahi Mãori (Mãori youth) with opportunities in professional services. Stemming from Beca's Mahuri (seedlings) Leadership Programme, the initiative fosters a professional pipeline while celebrating the unique perspectives of rangatahi Mãori. At the ceremony, a mihi whakatau (warm welcome) created an atmosphere of unity and shared purpose, leading into inspiring whakawhanaugatanga (relationship building) and hãngi (traditional Mãori meal) - the start of a beautiful relationship. Tonkin + Taylor's Zharnei Adams shared her inspiring story, representing graduates and a growing number of Mãori employees making key contributions. #collaboration #empowerment #rangatahi #tikang amãori

If they love the quantitative stuff, there are ample options to take more advanced modules in year 2 (eg., geotechnics) or year 3.

Our aim is to produce well rounded geo graduates who can go out into the world and be useful after 3 years, or do a more specialist MSc and up-skill in specifics.

The #ERC/#UKRI funded post-doc in my lab, looking at #dinosaur locomotion through footprints, is open for one more week. Maybe you have a #biomechanics background, or maybe you have a #geotechnics background, take a look!

Used to go on an annual geotechnics field trip to North Wales. We once made a student stay in the coach for safety reasons, because her idea of "suitable boots" had 3" heels. Half way up the mountain we met a family coming down in flip-flops. 🤦

I think this can be safely filed under #nominativeDeterminism:

"Landslide risk remains

Head of the Geotechnics Section at Bane Nor, Kjetil Brattlien, conducted an inspection of the area on Sunday."

His surname"Brattlien" literally means "the steep hill".

Perfect name for a landslire expert.
Screenshot from a Norwegian newspaper with a text that (translated) says: Landslide risk remains Head of the Geotechnics Section at Bane Nor, Kjetil Brattlien, conducted an inspection of the area on Sunday.
