It's not every day @haveigotnews tweets about your research 🌍☄️🌖

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

As scientists report number of asteroids striking Earth has increased, some suggest it makes a refreshing change to have a threat to existence which isn’t man-made.

Repeat after me: LAB WEBSITES MATTER!

While it may seem like a nice-to-have... in today's world, it's a need-to-have. For you, your trainees, and your prospective team members.

Huge congrats to ARIA advisor @demishassabis. Breaking through the barrier of winning a nobel outside academia is rare, but this may be the first case in history of the award going to an entrepreneur whose nobel work was done in the company they founded. Hopefully first of many!

Excellent video summarising our colleague Professor Juerg Matter's remarkable @EarthshotPrize winning research on capturing carbon - come to @unisouthampton to learn about this planet saving science as part of an undergraduate degree!

@DrShaneRRR Many happy returns! ☕☕

Thought provoking & inspiring @WiredUK article on @ARIA_research:

"Every breakthrough eventually boils down to brilliant people working on fiendishly tricky problems."

This is such a great piece on @ARIA_research by @mattsreynolds1 in @WiredUK. Particularly love this ambition from @matthewclifford:

NEW: Mount Everest isn't just the world's tallest mountain; it's freakishly tall, towering above its neighbouring peaks. But why?

It turns out that a river has washed away so much rock that the mountain is 'floating' higher on the mantle!

@alison_cribb @Royalcom1851 This is very cool. Congratulations!

@VolcanoJenni This is incredible - fantastic engagement! You're very brave taking this on but pulled it off so effortlessly. 👏🏻

@WeiPoints Yes, it does look like a two stage infill. White stuff likely to be zeolite and innermost stuff prehnite. They are often associated, but form under different pressure-temperatures

75 million years ago the US featured swim-through states rather than fly-over states. Great map by @paleoedits and #badgeographyjoke by myself.
