I think Elon Musk should be expelled from the British Royal Society. Not because he peddles conspiracy theories and makes Nazi salutes, but because of the huge damage he is doing to scientific institutions in the US. Now let's see if he really believes in free speech.
Spot a friendly face among the awardees - congratulations to MicroBooNEr Abbey Barnard from @OxfordPhysics! Read an interview with Abbey about her work and what this award means to her here: https://t.co/tedBFxrl9T
Congratulations to the awardees of the 2024 Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund! 👏🎉 The Fund was set up to encourage greater diversity in physics by supporting students from groups currently under-represented who wish to study towards a doctorate in physics. (1/2) 🧵
“If this inequity is not tackled, we will continue to let down a whole generation of girls and other under-represented groups." Deputy CE @RachelYoungman comments on today's A-level results. Read more about it here: https://t.co/RKmwY3RwiC
This week, Lancaster University is hosting the @Microboone Collaboration Meeting! ⚛️🌍

It was so exciting to be interviewed by the lovely @JPonpolitics on @TimesRadio today about the #BintheBoffin campaign. Thank you so much for having me!
THANK YOU @dailystar for getting the issue of young people being put off physics on the newsstands.
We get the joke. We also get that they think physics is not for them and they don’t look like a ‘boffin’.
So #BintheBoffin and find better ways to show your love for science.
@dailystar@TheSun@DailyMirror Let’s #BinTheBoffin and show other young people who come from similar backgrounds to me that physics is a place for them. Pictured: me achieving my long-time aspiration of becoming a @CERN scientist and being accepted into Oxford!
Today we’re kicking off an exciting #IOPLimitLess mission, #BinTheBoffin. We’re challenging the media's use of the term boffin to combat the unhelpful, stereotypical depiction of physics & physicists. Find out how you can support our mission: https://t.co/swdaMkXxwN
