Just watched on Catch up. Glorious! Such energy and such youth. The best sort of concert.

Isn’t it a grasshopper albeit a small one.

It was only after I went to Uni that my parents got a fridge, a Hillman imp car and a phone- also on a hall table! Remember too the multipurpose kitchen cupboard with pull down front for a work surface - no fitted kitchens then.

Done! It’s easy!

"Ours may be a pernicious history, but the trajectory of genetics has been one that tends towards progress and equity"

Excellent explainer from @adamrutherford.bsky.social on why racial groupings have no sound biological basis.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Just lovely.

Do consider attending the next conference in Nov 2025. I’ve been to every one and they just get better!! Watch YouTube link to hear from the 2023 attendees - great spirit of collaboration

Musk policies could ‘embarrass’ Royal Society, says former fellow - Research Professional News Dorothy Bishop, who resigned over tech billionaire's fellowship, predicts “pretty grim” situation for US scientists

“Oxford professor Dorothy Bishop [ @deevybee.bsky.social ] has said it could be ‘very embarrassing’ for the Royal Society to have billionaire businessman Elon Musk as a fellow if he were to ‘take the axe’ to science departments in the US as part of the Trump administration”
