❓Are you a researcher looking to make real-world impact as part of an expert multi-disciplinary team? Learn more and apply to join a Data Study Group at the Alan Turing Institute: https://bit.ly/4xzCgH7

White and green image with black text promoting The Alan Turing Institute's Data Study Group. The main question, "Why apply to join a Data Study Group?" is prominently displayed. Below, a green geometric shape contains the text, "Perspectives from previous participants," followed by an arrow pointing right. In the top right corner, it says, "Find out more and apply at turing.ac.uk/DSG."

A woman in a white suit speaks into a microphone, presenting in front of a screen with graphs at The Alan Turing Institute's Data Study Group event. Several people sit facing her, attentively listening. Text on the left reads, “It was great to see... how efficient it is to work in a multidisciplinary team because that’s not something you get to do very often when you’re in a PhD.” There's also a call to action: “Find out more and apply at turing.ac.uk/DSG.”

A green and white graphic from The Alan Turing Institute features two quotes: "It's really nice to have different levels of experience to work with" and "It was great to see how much could be achieved in just a span of five days." The top right corner provides a link to apply at turing.ac.uk/DSG.

A diagonal split image features on the left, black text on white reading: "The Alan Turing Institute," along with quotes: “I’m actually really excited to hopefully come back to one of these” and “I can’t believe the amount that I’ve learned this week.” The right side shows three people engaged around a laptop, one pointing at the screen, suggesting collaboration or learning. In the top right, text directs to "Find out more and apply at turing.ac.uk/DSG."

Last month FastNet, the AI weather model we're developing with @metoffice.gov.uk, predicted the high temperatures of May's heatwave 84hrs ahead. It captured the highest midday temperatures more closely than the current operational physics-based global model. Learn more: bit.ly/47JvdRm

Three heatmaps of the UK showing heatwave temperatures for 26 May 2026. The first heatmap shows the 'physics-based model' output - showing lower predicted temperatures than the 'FastNet' model map next to it, with the third map showing the observed weather at 12UTC on 26 May. Below the maps are the Met Office and The Alan Turing Institute logos with the text 'FastNet: Machine Learning Weather Prediction Model' to the bottom right of the graphic.
