Careful Industries Have fewer, better meetings

If people in your team or organisation are using AI notetakers as a way of coping with too many meetings and a culture of presenteeism, there's not a technological fix for this. The answer is to have fewer, better organised meetings www.careful.industries/blog/2025-11...

And I'm happy to chat informally with anyone thinking about applying and/or has questions about the UK higher ed system. I'd be especially happy to chat with anyone whose background or identity is underrepresented in engineering disciplines.
