Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

The announced closure of the UK's largest telescope at Jodrell Bank is only a small part of the cuts in UK physics

Infantino's proposal would literally supercharge everything that was bad about the World Cup this year and embed that model into every World Cup going forward. Absolutely toxic and probably the death of the World Cup as we know it.

"As part of the plan all member associations will be able to access up to $20m in "one-off capital" to fund development." Now if only there was some word for that....

Got to feel for the ECB. They invented The Hundred and gave it the prime summer slot just for the entire cricketing world to be more interested in an overweight slip fielder who clicks his fingers

AI is literally in use in construction today, and has been adopting Digital Twins & BIM for years now. We need to be enthusiastic adopters of tech to make people more productive - that's how you bring young people in. Has @KanishkaNarayan signed off on this messaging?

I really don’t understand what Savinho has seen in the last three years that has made him so determined to move to Tottenham but fair play to the lad he really wants this move.

I'd ideally like a version of GPT5.6 between Sol and Terra, smarter than Terra but without Sol's "I know best and I'm about to spend all afternoon overcomplicating your very simple ask" tendencies.

"Property rich, cash poor" There's no such thing as poor when you own a 2 million £ property. Stop butchering the language with utter nonsense.

My parents bought their house in the 80’s in north London for £125k that home is now worth nearly £2 million.. they live on a pension.. property rich cash poor !!! If Burnham brings in the 0.48% tax that would make them liable to a council tax bill of £9600 a year Anyone else see the problem here ?
