To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say: Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

And another edition of our Synchrotron Radiation School is over. We had a week full of lectures and experiments between @UniofOxford and @DiamondLightSou. Thank you to all our speakers and to the delegates who joined us from all over the🌍What a fantastic week in #science!

Average number of usual weekly hours of work in main job according to @EU_Eurostat. The Germans work among the shortest hours but are secretly convinced they work the most 😉 buff.ly/462I26h

Nearly 1.5 years in St. Andrews and only visited the Byre yesterday... wish I had gone sooner

As experts gather next week to discuss lethal autonomous weapons systems, I urge all countries to agree on banning them as soon as possible. Machines with the power & discretion to take lives without human involvement must be prohibited by international law.

We need a renewables revolution, not a self-destructive fossil fuel resurgence. My message to fossil fuel producers and their enablers.

As the world gathers to review the Biological Weapons Convention, I call on leaders to ensure that science & technology are used for the benefit of humanity. Strengthening this disarmament treaty - with the financial and human resources it needs - is more important than ever.

Trying to restart a Halloween tradition but can't find butterscotch chips :(

We just witnessed a hostile takeover of Twitter by the richest man in the world who regularly tries to silence critics. This is absolutely what oligarchy looks like.

@zerocha68 "Esta"?? Mas andaste com ela na escola ou quê?

It is immoral for oil & gas companies to be making record profits from the current energy crisis on the backs of the poorest, at a massive cost to the climate. I urge all governments to tax these excessive profits & use the funds to support the most vulnerable people.

I thought a lot about my life I tried to search for meaning I looked for answers deep within And found internal screaming

“I am willing to serve as caretaker Prime Minister because that’s frankly less ridiculous than the idea of Boris Johnson hanging around a minute longer” #YesWeCat #LarryForPM

Forced pregnancy is a crime against humanity.

We still see funding for coal & fossil fuels from some of the biggest names in finance, hedge funds & private equity. Investing in fossil fuels is a dead end – economically & environmentally. No amount of greenwashing or spin can change that. Don’t work for climate-wreckers.

@mafs_morais Das poucas coisas que não tenho saudades nenhumas :(

As idas para a universidade à sexta de manhã são assim.
