Is this the first time a Nobel has been awarded for a hypothesis that was thoroughly discredited and subsequently rehabilitated? (even if they changed the name from Tsupp to Treg)

Francesca Albanese's @FranceskAlbs greatest hobby: shredding stupid Western journalists to pieces.

Congratulations to all the new Starting Grant winners! Empowering researchers early on in their careers - that’s one of the core tasks of @ERC_Research. Especially happy to welcome UK researchers back. They’ve been missed. This influx is good for the research community overall!

Still digesting the landmark #Draghireport, but great to see the emphasis on R&I. Very happy with proposal to double support to ground-breaking fundamental research via the European Research Council! And the stance on preserving the ERC's independence. commission.europa.eu/topics/strengt…

Here (from 10.12) is the MP for NW Cambs detailing the appalling state of the NHS left by the tories.Contrast that with his neighbour in NE Cambs who somehow managed to survive judgement day - as health secretary Barclay never had a clue let alone a plan. parliamentlive.tv/event/index/cd…

This song from Woody Guthrie is timeless. Now as in 1942 'all you fascists bound to lose'.. youtube.com/watch?v=nIOHXY…

Hallett calls out the chaos, blame shifting and groupthink that characterised the COVID scientific advice.

@DrSueOosthuizen The Guardian has a long history of passive censorship - they won't publish anything that offends their editorial positions. They did the same in the pandemic with their bonkers zero covid advocacy.

A short thread on Prof Mary Beard's recent article in @theguardian on enforced retirement (EJRA, Employer Justified Retirement Age) at 67 in Cambridge in which those opposing the policy are called 'job-blockers'. You can find it here 👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The University of Cambridge forcibly retires faculty each year just for turning 67. This occurs even if the person is on track to cure tuberculosis, understand autism, or develop battery tech. that solves the climate crisis. This ageist policy must go. tinyurl.com/bdfnk4ss

If you vote in South Cambs, think about voting @UKLabour Voting 4 any other party could result in your voice not being heard by Labour’s new government. Forget tactics Vote for @Luke_Viner

4 days left til the #generalelection! 🌹 The daily video for today is not from me, but from some of the residents in the Huntingdon constituency who are voting Labour this election. Video entirely produced by volunteers 😊 #ANewHopeforHuntingdon

They'll tell you voting doesn't make a difference. But it was a Labour Government that changed my life. If you want change, vote for it on Thursday.

Age discrimination at Cambridge? New analysis shows no evidence that Cambridge University’s Employer Justified Retirement Age (EJRA) policy is working to achieve the aims that would legally justify it. arxiv.org/abs/2405.14611

So many lovely chats in Littleport today, especially the ones that ended ‘I’m 10 out of 10 voting Labour!’ One lady who recently lost her husband told me, I’ve seen the state of the NHS, that’s why I’m voting Labour. Residents want the change a Labour government will bring!

Great news Luke, you can relax on Monday now..

They do have many years' wear and tear from weather and vandalism and should be replaced. Sadly 13 years of tory austerity has cut the @CambsCC budget to the bone and shabby bus stops are unlikely to have priority over dangerous potholes.

@CBGbusUsers @AJ99500818 @Murielschild @simuk @centralsimon @borofergie @BusAndTrainUser @GoWhippet @Cambridge_Uni @busuniversal @CllrTimBick @PrNickGay @Darrenthebusguy @NikJohnsonCA @CambsPboroCA @CambsCC @Stagecoach_East @camcitco @alexandrabulat Now that @Murielschild has discovered that @CambsCC is in charge of New Square shelters, I have written to Market County cllr @PrNickGay (and local City cllrs) to report the problem. Maybe @borofergie can help directly contacting people in charge?

See that Roger @BusAndTrainUser has been trying out the new @GoWhippet/@Cambridge_Uni Mellor electrics on @busuniversal. Great vehicles and superb attention to detail on the whole service. cbgbususers.wordpress.com/2023/10/12/uni…

I had forgotten that Oppenheimer was briefly a graduate student at Christ's College. He hated his time in Cambridge, and tried to poison his supervisor at the Cavendish Laboratory, the physicist PMS Blackett
