Space. Science. Sports. Arts (couldn’t quite keep the alliteration going). From fundamental physics through to Hollywood and the Turner prize. Physics is fun.

@mathewjowens Blimey Matt, I think this is one of the most existentially depressing post (and comment section) I've ever read.

@CorwinWright Huge congratulation Corwin! Amazing work.

Successful landing and first image from the Perseverance rover. Incredible work #NASAPerseverance

A really good thread on the complexity of the subject....worth it just for the insightful remark that “...we should also recognise that we stand on the shoulders of bastards, whether we know it or not” thank you @AdamRutherford

[Dr Adam Rutherford @AdamRutherford]

Good thread on naming things after people whose views are now considered unacceptable, in this case the phenomenally brilliant RA Fisher, who was also an staunch eugencist.

This is how home office with a 3 y-o looks like.
I recorded only 20 minutes, but you can see that it is hard to keep focus.
She is my daughter, she is way more important to me than work. She tries to play by herself, but she is just a children and needs attention!!!!

@cj0306 @cscasley @cj0306 Don't be daft. It was an alright run, but I'm no where near as quick as the great @KenenisaBekele. He runs a 2.29 split per km. In my defence I had just had a big lunch before the run and had subbed my toe the night before

Quite pleased with the time, not quite a PB. But in my defence, the course has a couple of hills in it.

Wanted to share my closest view yet of asteroid Bennu from yesterday’s rehearsal!

This series of images was captured during the 10-minute span between the Checkpoint burn, ~394 ft (120 m) above the surface, and the back-away burn, which occurred ~213 ft (65 m) above the surface.
