@TfL any news on this part of CS3 being sorted? It’s incredibly dark and people don’t necessarily bring bright lights when cycling in the middle of the day. It’s almost a week the lights have been out and frankly I’m surprised that there have been no major accidents yet.

@nxcare I’m happy to DM but I don’t really see why you need my information - I’m not looking for any kind of fix. I just want to know how the differences in price in the images I’ve tweeted above is calculated? Thanks.

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

@nationalexpress How exactly do you justify the fact that I can get a bus from London to Cardiff for £6.90, but if I want to get on the exact same bus but get off in Newport (which is less distance) it costs me over 3 times the price…?

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

@nxcare For clarity the same journey getting on at Cardiff or getting on at Newport

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

@nxcare Hi, I’m not looking for any resolution here. I simply want to know how you can justify the journey costing so much more when I’m getting on the bus at a location closer to the end point. Also I don’t think you should be asking people to share their email on Twitter…?

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

@nxcare The date of travel is 19/08/21 and the bus leaves at 08:30.

My kind of politics

Italy winning the Euros and Eurovision in the same year means they are now in charge of the rest of Europe

[The National @ScotNational]

Incredible 👏👏👏

So if you run a modest coffee shop/cafe with less than <£85k turnover you’re stuffed. Honestly who designs these schemes?

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.

RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

Honestly, is this government trying to be a complete joke? What on Earth are they thinking? We are hosting #COP26 to ‘inspire’ action against climate change as we approve plans for the first UK deep coal mine in 30 years. The aim to phase out coal by 2024 is going really well eh?

[Greenpeace UK @GreenpeaceUK]

The UK govt is allowing the first deep coal mine in 30 YEARS to go ahead. 😡

How about no?

This perpetuates gender bias and belittles the difficulties that so many women face in academia. Anyone who has worked hard for and earned a doctorate - please, please, please flaunt it. Oh yeah, and #fuckwsj

@Astropartigirl & @AlCabbage045 reminded me about this comic and I think we all should read it again:

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

I always made an effort in my sessions to highlight the research that is being undertaken by women in physics, and the brilliance of so many of the women in my cohort. The under-representation of women is a major issue in physics and any project tackling it is hugely worthwhile.

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

This is one of the most important takings from this project. Too often I was going into schools hearing extremely bright young girls say that science in general, but specifically physics, is not something they’re interested in, and it’s a boys subject (1/5) #WomenInSTEM

[Physics Mentoring Project @PhysMentoring]

61% of female students stated that they “definitely won’t” or “probably won’t” take Physics A level before the mentoring. This decreased by 26% post participation, as these girls moved into the “definitely will”, “probably will” or “unsure” categories. 4/4

[Iwan Pullen @iPulllen]

(Off the top of my head - from toys that got me interested in science - I’m thinking Hotwires which depicts a young girl triggering an alarm that two boys built and Gross Science which lets you create ‘gross spots for your sister’) (4/5)
