This is indeed a superb letter from The Astronomer Royal of Scotland. “Someone, somewhere, has taken the decision to defund astrophysics research in the UK, but no-one seems quite sure who that was, or why.” I agree - my colleagues in particle physics have also tried, without success, to discover who owns the decision to damage physics research in the UK, perhaps irreparably, at a time when our economy desperately needs the skills and knowledge we develop and teach. @UKRI_News need to get a grip urgently and fix the problem someone, somewhere, has created.

I couldn't say it better than the Astronomer Royal of Scotland, in her letter to Nature. "...whoever made this decision failed to foresee the disastrous and damaging repercussions for UK science and the economy." 🧪🔭 #UKRI #DSIT #STFC #ScienceFunding nature.com/articles/s4155…

Living the rock and roll dream explaining quantum mechanics with a Keytar in Perth. Only two shows left in Australia now - Adelaide and Brisbane this week - then off to New Zealand …

@ISSAboveYou @dazzatronus @sen @liamkennedy It was great fun - I got confused because I couldn’t see whether or not it was actually live in the show because the real time clock wasn’t on the screen :-)

Half time at @ProfBrianCox presentation - Emergence. It's one of the most beautiful and profound presentations/lecture I've ever seen. It's inspiring, engaging and uplifting. To feel so small, unique, important, distant and close all at the same time. Incredible. #Emergence

@jeffcafe_ I don’t think they are persuasive at all - which is a shame - I would be delighted if our civilisation were part of a galactic community!

My first Emergence show in Melbourne - this bit is me explaining why my guess is that we are the only civilisation in the Milky Way … although I would be delighted and relieved to be wrong :-)
