Higgs Boson breakthrough was UK triumph, but British physics faces 'catastrophic' cuts bbc.in/4bNIdqW

Today we reached 1000 signatures from early-career researchers working in the UK! 📝🎉 UK universities are under threat without fundamental Science: Lower international ranking = reduced attractiveness = Less innovation = less growth 📉 The government must step in #ukri #stfc

The tragedy of this is that it’s totally unnecessary - I think it’s a result of hasty (to put it politely) decision making at a level below ministers, and therefore will be fixable. But if it’s not fixed quickly the impact will be severe and there will be unpredictable consequences for physics as a whole in the U.K. And that is daft (again, polite language).

Draconian cuts to UK physics by the @GOVUK are unacceptable. They damage the UK's science base and threaten the UK's reputation as a reliable international scientific partner. Prof @JohnWomersley explains how *you* can stand up for physics. Full talk: youtube.com/watch?v=hOSRea…

“Cuts of this scale are a devastating blow for the foundations of UK physics. The government has promised boosts for areas like quantum, green tech and AI,... but the reality on the ground is hundreds of scientists being told their research is being slashed" Paul Howarth, president-elect of the UK Institute of Physics nature.com/articles/d4158…

1月17日から利用運転を開始し、少しずつビームパワーを上げ、1月27日以降は900 kWで安定した運転を続けています。 今後は2028年から始まるハイパーカミオカンデ実験に向けて1.3 MWの実現を目指し、ビームパワー増強を進めていきます。

@StevenMcinerney Might do both

if you dont laugh youll cry etc

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@DrTonyPadilla @numberphile @sixtysymbols More animal biology, but OddAnimalSpecimens and @TierZoo are informative and fun!

@huw_perry I was fighting him on new game+ 7 😬

@NikoSarcevic Congratulations! 🎉

Dr Niko, baby

@DavidMooney Best game of all time

Just finished a re-play of Knights of the Old Republic. For a game made in 2004, it looks great. The planet you crash on near the end is one of the best.

Hello Milan! #Neutrino2024

@ThomaspJoness ⚒️

Dimming down in Preston now!

@NikoSarcevic @DukeU @michaeltroxel @KJArunKJ @LSSTDESC @NASARoman Congrats!

Ok so, cannot hide it any longer: peeps, I am B E Y O N D thrilled to tell you that this fall I’ll be joining @DukeU to work with @michaeltroxel , @KJArunKJ (and other fine folk there). I will continue my work in @LSSTDESC and I will be joining @NASARoman! 🤩 I am so happy 🥳

@StevenMcinerney Be lucky if the team turns up

Can only presume Rodri might turn up in the second half, which might help.
