Did you know that 'Jacob Bronowski'—mathematician, philosopher, author, broadcaster—was also a poet? Join editor Simon Rennie for the 2026 Lisa Jardine Memorial Lecture, as he talks about his experience of recovering Bronowski's poetic legacy: https://t.co/eFjETg6892.

@GS_VCactivist @Kekius_Sage "The Ascent of Man". (J. Brownoski) and "The Origins of Scientific Thought (Giorgio de Santillana). Both teach you pretty much everything.

"Rüya ya da kabus, deneyimimizi olduğu gibi ve uyanık yaşamak zorundayız. Bilimin en ince ayrıntısına kadar nüfuz ettiği, hem yekpare hem gerçek bir dünyada yaşıyoruz. Şu ya da bu tarafı tutmaya kalkarak onu bir oyuna çeviremeyiz."

~Jacob Bronowski

🎂 #UnDiaComoHoy nació Leo Szilard

👉Tras su muerte, J. Bronowski dio a conocer los "Diez Mandamientos" que #Szilard había escrito para un amigo (mi favorito es el no. 8).

👉La referencia viene en la p. 236 de la biografía del doctor Bronowski, de Timothy Sandefur.

@DavidBe31099196 Thanks for that, David. I haven’t heard about this anecdote since I watched Jacob Bronowski talk about it in The Ascent of Man back in the 80s. He added that the only part he found improbable was that Szilard stopped for a red light: “I never knew Szilard to stop for a red light”

I’m lecturing tomorrow on nuclear strategy. In preparation for it I took this photo. Not a prepossessing scene, at first glance. It’s the crosswalk at Southampton Row in London at Russell Square where the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard in 1933 conceived the idea of a nuclear chain reaction which led ultimately to the bomb. In effect this is the scene of the arrival of an idea which has overshadowed the life of every human being since that moment.

And then watch Bronowski’s “Ascent of Man”!

Happy birthday (observed) to Jacob Bronowski.

Somehow I didn’t notice this till now: the 1984 TV special “Jacob Bronowski: Life and Legacy” has been posted to YouTube: https://t.co/KX4dpbnTb4

Prof. Simon Rennie (@srennie12) of @JesusCollegeCam will speak in March about his project of gathering and publishing Bruno’s poetry! https://t.co/amF7RqWvsF

This is what they did to Bronowski’s house. Technically not “demolished,” but come on. https://t.co/YUr3apjk4e

Bronowski was the best man at Watson’s wedding in 1968. In the book of The Ascent of Man, there’s a picture of the couple at Bruno’s La Jolla house shortly before the wedding. https://t.co/g8JBJBFWut

»There is no more threatening and no more degrading doctrine than the fancy that somehow we may shelve the responsibility for making the decisions of our society by passing it to a few scientists armoured with a special magic.«
