We join @Cult_Unstained complaint to @sciencemuseum that ties to oil giants like @BP_PLC, @Shell & @equinor fail to take into account #climatechange, breaching their ethics policy and damaging the brand amongst scientists and young people https://t.co/g3I8ORnOyQ #makethefuture

[BP or not BP? @drop_BP]

'The Stolen Goods Tour' continues outside the Assyria Exhibition where a group of Iraqi activists are here in outrage at the exploitation of stolen artefacts in the @britishmuseum, sponsored by @BP_plc #dropbp

[Drew Pearce @[email protected] @DrewRPearce]

Worth noting that this expedition was backed and funded by @royalsociety who still proudly announce it on their history page as "Advancements and Adventure". https://t.co/Ynx64lx3qh. Solidarity to those at @britishmuseum today talking about this.

“The conflation of scientific neutrality into political neutrality of the scientist as a citizen is actually a trick by mainstream liberal ideology that we’re helping people break with. And those who break, join us."

This is such a great story; it showcases human drama, institutional rivalries and the complexity at the interface of statistical mechanics, physical chemistry and computer simulation. And the whole drama came down to a bug in the code. https://t.co/T4BO4B25WE

The @sciencemuseum needs to realise that the fossils belong in the @NHM_London. Oil companies are not modern businesses but relics of the past that one way or another will not be part of the future. #makethefuture https://t.co/3DIrTKZTrP

[Medact @Medact]

#fossilfuel sponsorship is akin to tobacco sponsorship; it seriously undermines @sciencemuseum ‘s mission to promote sci & medical knowledge. We're joining leading scientists to support this complaint & assoc website @Cult_unstained https://t.co/gCkK85aYN9 https://t.co/9ecwMDNWJO

[Beth Rice @bethrice48]

Today I've joined leading scientists in calling out @sciencemuseum over ties to three oil companies. It’s time to #makethefuture and ditch big oil! Via @Cult_Unstained https://t.co/hve6wJ9fJ1

[Alice Bell @alicebell]

The Science Museum's own due diligence reports on BP, Shell and Equinor show they knew about ties to corruption, pollution and climate science denial. https://t.co/WWEHvzHCwu

[Culture Unstained @Cult_Unstained]

We're surprised @sciencemuseum director Ian Blatchford has dismissed the validity of our complaint already. Have you SEEN our list of signatories Ian? We are deadly serious about this. #makethefuture #science #climate #sciencemuseum #fossilfreeculture

[Scientists for Global Responsibility @ResponsibleSci]

Scientists for Global Responsibility is supporting the formal complaint against the Science Museum over its sponsorship deals with major oil corporations, Shell, BP and Equinor (formerly Statoil) https://t.co/9nMbkk1fc6

The world's best-known climate scientist is supporting our complaint to @sciencemuseum to end its partnerships with 3 oil companies. Full story: https://t.co/MxWO5J0BLr #makethefuture #climate #science #jameshansen #climatechange #museums #ClimateAction

[Drew Pearce @[email protected] @DrewRPearce]

Proud to be a signitory. We need to #makethefuture liveable not allow it to be stolen from us by #fossilfuel companies that promote climate change/science denial for profit. It's not good enough that the @sciencemuseum's content can be influenced by financial interests. https://t.co/K5KNPhdNGo

When BP sponsors the @britishmuseum who is it that really pays? Our new infographic w/@PriceofOil reveals the truth! https://t.co/bqu5Rvh1vH

Great to see this lecture on decolonising science happening in a few weeks. We'll be there! https://t.co/I7L8tUm20G

I think this kind of nuance is important when we talk about being "pro-" or "anti-science" https://t.co/pc1EwLawmN
