We join @Cult_Unstained complaint to @sciencemuseum that ties to oil giants like @BP_PLC, @Shell & @equinor fail to take into account #climatechange, breaching their ethics policy and damaging the brand amongst scientists and young people behindthelogos.org/scientists-cal… #makethefuture

'The Stolen Goods Tour' continues outside the Assyria Exhibition where a group of Iraqi activists are here in outrage at the exploitation of stolen artefacts in the @britishmuseum, sponsored by @BP_plc #dropbp

Worth noting that this expedition was backed and funded by @royalsociety who still proudly announce it on their history page as "Advancements and Adventure". royalsociety.org/about-us/histo…. Solidarity to those at @britishmuseum today talking about this.

“The conflation of scientific neutrality into political neutrality of the scientist as a citizen is actually a trick by mainstream liberal ideology that we’re helping people break with. And those who break, join us." Will you? scienceforthepeople.org slate.com/technology/201…

This is such a great story; it showcases human drama, institutional rivalries and the complexity at the interface of statistical mechanics, physical chemistry and computer simulation. And the whole drama came down to a bug in the code. physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.…

The @sciencemuseum needs to realise that the fossils belong in the @NHM_London. Oil companies are not modern businesses but relics of the past that one way or another will not be part of the future. #makethefuture twitter.com/ChrisGPackham/…

#fossilfuel sponsorship is akin to tobacco sponsorship; it seriously undermines @sciencemuseum ‘s mission to promote sci & medical knowledge. We're joining leading scientists to support this complaint & assoc website @Cult_unstained bit.ly/2KB6UMo theguardian.com/business/2018/…

Today I've joined leading scientists in calling out @sciencemuseum over ties to three oil companies. It’s time to #makethefuture and ditch big oil! Via @Cult_Unstained behindthelogos.org/scientists-cal…

The Science Museum's own due diligence reports on BP, Shell and Equinor show they knew about ties to corruption, pollution and climate science denial. cultureunstained.org/2018/07/05/sci…

We're surprised @sciencemuseum director Ian Blatchford has dismissed the validity of our complaint already. Have you SEEN our list of signatories Ian? We are deadly serious about this. #makethefuture #science #climate #sciencemuseum #fossilfreeculture

Scientists for Global Responsibility is supporting the formal complaint against the Science Museum over its sponsorship deals with major oil corporations, Shell, BP and Equinor (formerly Statoil) #Echobox=1530720975" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theguardian.com/business/2018/… @Cult_Unstained

Proud to be a signitory. We need to #makethefuture liveable not allow it to be stolen from us by #fossilfuel companies that promote climate change/science denial for profit. It's not good enough that the @sciencemuseum's content can be influenced by financial interests. twitter.com/ProgSci/status…

When BP sponsors the @britishmuseum who is it that really pays? Our new infographic w/@PriceofOil reveals the truth! artnotoil.org.uk/whopays

Great to see this lecture on decolonising science happening in a few weeks. We'll be there! twitter.com/IBJIYONGI/stat…

I think this kind of nuance is important when we talk about being "pro-" or "anti-science" theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
