A full room ready to listen to our panel @OllyGloverLD MP, @EdwardMorelloWD MP & @DrAlexandraHowe from @energynetworks discussing 'How Britain’s electricity networks are investing in communities to enable the transition to clean power' at @libDemConf #LDConf @LibDems

[Alexandra Howe @DrAlexandraHowe]

Great to be back @Grantham_IC today to talk to PhD students about using research to make an impact on policy #policy #sciencepolicy #outreach

[Alexandra Howe @DrAlexandraHowe]

Great opening speech from @AntoniaRomeoUK “when you get criticised by the press you know you are doing something right” #allyouneedislove #WiL19 #bringyourwholeselftowork @WiLeadership_UK

Rosalind Franklin, the renowned scientist, was born #OnThisDay in 1920. Her research and insight contributed directly to two Nobel Prize awards. One for the discovery on DNA’s double helix and Aaron Klug FRS’s award for the molecular structure of viruses #WomenInSTEM

I think we’re all missing the point here. Jane Foster has a PhD in astrophysics. She isn’t “female Thor” or “girl Thor.” She’s DR. Thor

Good luck with that.

[WWF UK @wwf_uk]

There are only around 170,000 jaguars left in the wild, and their numbers are on the decline due to habitat loss, poaching and deforestation. #FightForYourWorld #Caturday

[Ed Hawkins @ed_hawkins]

Answers to FAQs:
1) Yes, the sun's output varies slightly
2) Yes, the climate has changed before
3) Yes, we've considered that
4) Physics
5) No, we're not getting rich from this
The answer is still: humans are responsible for nearly all of the warming over the past 150 years
