If you were at my show this evening in Ljubljana when we looked live at the Deep Space Network and saw it communicating with @NASARoman - this is what was going on :-)

Sometimes your eyes need a minute to focus when you wake up. Roman's Wide Field Instrument just woke up for the first time EVER, and scientists have started adjusting its "eyes" so they can focus on the bigger picture.

This is good news, and as the article points out, signals a welcome change from the previous administration. There is a sense of optimism for the first time in a while - UKRI should read the room and reverse the damaging (and I have to say not well documented) decision to

Walking home a few minutes ago across the Charles Bridge in Prague ahead of the live show here tomorrow - it will be a special night for me because the entire Emergence show is inspired by the story of Johannes Kepler walking across this bridge in a New Year’s snow storm in 1609

We need a major structural review of UK science. A series of government decisions over the last decade (including but not limited to the Brexit referendum and the subsequent fall out) have undermined this vital foundation of our economy - that is unarguable. The problems have

The UK's Earth Observation sector lost on the order of £150–300m during 2021–2025 as a result of the Brexit withdrawal from Copernicus. Loss of contract eligibility, industrial capability, influence, and market position. Can we claw our way back? Read the value for money report:

On the physics funding crisis in the UK - there are some issues of nuance, shall we say, in the attached article below.
The reason STFC had 'no choice' but to cut so many projects (Jodrell and many more) was NOT the government's spending review settlement. It was a deliberate htt

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

@ProfBrianCox @andyburnham They’d rather spend the money the money on international aid and welfare for foreign nationals. We all know, people are just too afraid to say it.

This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.

@ProfBrianCox Imagine having an idea, and several countries spend billions to build a giant underground machine to see if you're right. Then they find you are.
Pretty nice.

@ProfBrianCox The ultimate irony is that pretty much no theoretical physicist thought the Higgs existed and then they find the damn thing! Fantastic that it was in his lifetime. RIP.

Very sorry to hear Peter Higgs has died. I was fortunate enough to meet him several times, and beyond being a famous physicist - I think to his embarrassment at times - he was always charming and modest. And of course his name will be remembered as long as we do physics in the
