OK #Science twitter - do your thing! We have written an open letter to Conservatives strongly opposing 'kicking woke ideology out of science' rhetoric & show they do not represent science. Please distribute widely! Screen readable text + signature form at https://t.co/H7rNzb0wGh
Since 2005 'And Tango Makes Three ' has been one of the most banned books in the US, and is still prohibited in some schools. It's a children's book based on the true story of two male chinstrap penguins who adopted a chick.
Sadly, I can't unban books; but I can paint penguins!!
Think Botticelli missed a trick when he painted The Birth of Venus. So here is.... 'The birth of penguin!'
@UffiziGalleries, want to swap? 😉

@qqv0310 @AnnaGHughes This seems like a question for @xkcd but I think the only realistic solution is that this exists on a different planet, where the gravity, atmosphere, and terrain are more favourable to giant penguins...
@JerzyOrsel@ItaiYanai Interested to know @UKRI_News' thoughts on this. I recently went to a talk by UKRI and asked about the problems of short-term postdoc contracts. They replied “we know it’s a problem but most of you will end up in industry anyway so we don’t think it’s one that’s worth fixing”
Been branching out recently working on some human portraits (with some mixed results) and painting along with @SkyArts portrait artist of the year #portaitartistoftheyear#paoty
Some consider Federer to be tennis' GOAT (greatest of all time). I'd suggest
PENGUIN (played exceptionally, never gave up, infrequently neutralised).
OK tenuous penguin link, I just wanted to practice painting humans...

If all the world's emperor penguins were combined into one they would stand ~100m tall (according to my dodgy calculations).
This is that penguin @Ely_Cathedral
@ShappiKhorsandi@chunkymark Love it Shappi, if you ever fancy expanding your penguin collection to include some inferior (and generally more disturbing) works just let me know!
