Air pollution is a massive problem in Durham - but do students in particular realise the extent of the issue, and the health implications of poor air they are being exposed to?

[Palatinate SciTech @PalatiSciTech]

Local campaigners have warned that students are being exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution in Durham - especially on Church Street.

I thought ChatGPT could be a helpful tool for guiding my research, so I asked it to list some relevant scientific articles. Looks okay? Problem is - as far as I can tell - none of these articles exist...

[Cameron McAllister @ccwmcallister]

Then give Peter's new book a read. It makes a strong case for the existence of future-proof science and a method for how to identify it, and it's admirably accessible too. https://t.co/lQzocsmEMt

[Cameron McAllister @ccwmcallister]

Was great to talk to Peter for this interview! Fascinating conversation covering everything from the philosophy of science to climate change and vaccine hesitancy, give it a read!

[Palatinate SciTech @PalatiSciTech]

The plane of satellite galaxies surrounding the Milky Way has puzzled scientists for 50 years. Now, a collaboration between Durham and Helsinki Universities has solved the riddle.

Beautiful morning in Durham! Looking forward to sharing my work at the first of the new soft matter seminars at 11am in PH132!

My full interview with Prof Carlos Frenk is here! I was lucky enough to get to chat about his role in the development of cold dark matter theory, his philosophy of science, and the importance of the James Webb Space Telescope 🔭
