@CommonsSITC @ChiOnwurah This is very worrying, the PM here explaining that they have the blinkers on for quantum and AI. Important areas but cutting all other physics will cripple so many sectors skills pipeline particularly in nuclear.

@the_cynical1 @DrAllyLouks Clinicians aren’t really doctors. The term comes the fact that clinicians used to do a PhD, most don’t now (it was felt on the job training as a junior clinician was better) but they incorrectly kept the title.
So yes clinicians need a new title, as Dr should mean doing a PhD

@MrJamesMay Because farmland has inflated value as an excellent inheritance tax loophole, or at least did.

@Diggers71 @GdnUniversities Apparently PPE is one, as it’s clear this graduate hasn’t learned who to research an article and how to use quality sources

@PhysWiz Actually speaking to humans in person, I tried it, you don’t want to go there.

[Graeme Burt @graemeburt32]

@ThePhysicsMemes Well you definitely picked the wrong subject, theoretical physics just has more questions. I believe you want experimental physics for answers.

I think it's a strat. #science

@sigirides You want to risk your life jumping red lights that on you, but don’t risk that cats life. Idiots like you shouldn’t have animals. It’s a living being not a social media prop.

@XRPSPEED @rickygervais @TomFlanner99201 Atheists are intrinsically better people, we are good as we have empathy rather than just being good to avoid punishment from their god.

@XRPSPEED @rickygervais @TomFlanner99201 Do religious people ever wonder if they picked the wrong one? The difference between sects is minuscule and get it slightly wrong and they believe they are going to hell. If I’m wrong it was unlikely I would have picked the right one anyway (it would be an old obscure one)

@Chris_Segroves @DKiSAerospace @DrChrisCombs After discovering electromagnetic (the basis for all telecommunications) Faraday was asked by the prime minister what was it for and he replied “I know not, but I wager that one day your government will tax it”

Leeds Trinity’s viral marketing campaign for their open days is a step too far.

@briankeating Because you chose two quantities that gave those answers. If you chose say the size of a proton and the universe the geometric mean would be much larger.

@cockcroft_news I’m gonna need a 30 day run on Clara, no particular reason just need to irradiate something

@EntangledLogic @WKCosmo Gonna need some really big magnets for that 🧲

@CorriganPaul @MichaelRosenYes You are making an assumption that private schools are better, while they get higher school grades, the students struggle at university without all the extra help (unless they go to oxbridge and still get the tutors). Studies show they are 8% less likely to get a 2.1 or better
