Ten years ago, Chris Hadfield (@Cmdr_Hadfield) recorded this marvel which remains one of the masterpieces of music and astronautics.

Entirely shot on International Space Station, he released it the day before he returned to Earth at the end of Exp. 35.

VC funds with more women in decision-making positions perform better, according to a new report from European Women in VC. For every 10% increase in representation of women at a senior level, a fund's internal rate of return (IRR) improved by 1.3% points. @Siftedeu @angelacademe

@ewanbirney Border control should not be a problem. In my youth I worked on the sleeper train Paris-Madrid-Paris. I was the one responsible for the passengers collecting their passport so I could show to border control while they continue sleeping 😴😁

Shared by a sofi Pioneer: "I've just finished my 3rd pod and can honestly say that my sleep has improved immensely. I didn’t really notice until I was part way through my second pod but now, instead of lying awake for hours, I more often than not fall asleep within 30 mins."✨

Great panel conversation. Fantastic engagement from the audience and great questions. And the live-sketching by @ATJCagan is amazing, a scientist and illustrator, gifted in both! I can really recognise myself :)

@shanilpanara For me it is more around 3 o 4am. That’s why I have my mobile on my night stand to take notes of ideas or things to do before I forget :)

“Brexit …. the biggest loss of British sovereignty since 1066”.

@hermannhauser, one of the UK’s & the world’s great tech entrepreneurs explains why UK chances of being “the next Silicon Valley” (touted by @Jeremy_Hunt) are “zero”.

@vicderbyshire sounds surprised. Truth hurts.

[Shanil Panara @shanilpanara]

Excited that Nanograb has been shortlisted to pitch in the @2048vc Pitch Competition!

HOW TO BUY A GOOD CASHMERE SWEATER 🧵

I want to address this comment left by someone in response to my Brick Watch Company tweet. It also gets into something I've been wanting to talk about: how to buy a good cashmere sweater.

[Edwin Hayward @edwinhayward]

Absolutely brutal takedown of Brexit. Good to see the BBC wading into the fray at last, now that the damage it's causing is too great to conceal.

(Arguably they should have been on message a *lot* sooner, but better late than never.)
