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…

She’s one of the few people who has a legitimate Bacon-Erdös-Sabbath number. Stephen Hawking is another person who has it.

@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 :-)

@dazzatronus @sen @ProfBrianCox Now that is just the perfect magical connection. Thanks for sharing how that happened (p.s. I am @liamkennedy - Space TV Director for @sen)

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!

@ProfBrianCox I think you’re wrong. Recent UFO disclosures back me up.
