@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialOnslow Park and Ride is now a live trial site testing greener alternatives to glyphosate. Surrey researchers and Guildford and Waverley councils are measuring water, plastic and fuel impact, not just whether the alternatives kill weeds. https://bit.ly/3VrUzPI
@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialPellets that turn toilet water blue may help us flush less. Surrey researchers found that people skip flushes when alone, but not with guests around.
Social pressure, not habit, is the real barrier to saving water. www.surrey.ac.uk/news/could-t...
@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialNational plan urges AI teaching at universities, with Surrey’s discipline-specific model leading the way www.surrey.ac.uk/news/nationa...
@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialUniversities UK’s Future Jobs Roadmap is out today and our University is one of the case studies highlighting our AI in Education Framework. From September, every degree here includes discipline-specific AI teaching. www.future.universitiesuk.ac.uk/future-jobs/roadmap

@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialCalling something ‘AI’ tells you less and less when upscaling and filling use AI too. Professor John Collomosse argues for provenance – a record of how a file was made, edited and shared, travelling with it. stories.surrey.ac.uk/how-to-know-...
@uniofsurrey.bsky.socialWe ask where our food comes from. We are now starting to ask the same questions about images in our feeds. Professor John Collomosse and his team have spent ten years building the digital provenance technology to answer that question. stories.surrey.ac.uk/how-to-know-...
