Excellent letters in the @guardian on the cuts at STFC. Good to see one from @LHCbExperiment's Paula Collins in particular, but all say similar. https://t.co/LP5KbdKy7S
Former Minister for Science, Research and Innovation telling it like it is. @biztradegovuk this didn't get decided on your watch but you're letting it happen. There's still time to fix this mess happening @STFC_Matters
"the best scientists will go wherever the best science can be done. And on this the signs are ominous. A recent survey found that nearly 80% of early-career physicists were considering leaving the UK after the funding crisis." @iansample for the Guardian: https://t.co/UUWFThtJbe
📢UKRI’s decision not to fund LHCb Upgrade II is not just a project cut.
It puts UK leadership, access to the future LHCb dataset and opportunities for hundreds of scientists, engineers, technicians and students at risk.
↩️This decision should be reversed.

'...the UK has traditionally led the world: think Stephen Hawking, Peter Higgs, Roger Penrose and Paul Dirac. These cuts attack the very pipeline of talent that the government wants to encourage.' Jeff Forshaw and @ProfBrianCox on @UKRI_News cuts https://t.co/co7KYP6sHn
On Friday Lord Vallance responded to Dame @ChiOnwurah and @CommonsSITC to claim that 'there are typically ~20 particle physics theory post-doctoral researchers funded
by UKRI each year' https://t.co/f1FVOgpPQY 1/3
Many academic spaces are designed around an assumption of physical neutrality, a body that is always available, consistently functional, and unaffected by pain. For many researchers, particularly women and others with chronic or invisible conditions, that assumption does not hold

One of these plushies will fly around the Moon!
The team received thousands of entries for the Moon Mascot contest — and narrowed them down to 25 finalists!
Which zero gravity indicator do you think should join the Artemis II mission? https://t.co/KfVT8krDy1
So proud to see a #CERN scientist in space.
Even prouder he's from #Poland.
And yes — beyond excited that a plushie made it to orbit too! Meet a baby swan Joy 🚀🇵🇱🧸 #spaceforeveryone
First taste of microgravity for @astro_slawosz 🧑🚀✨
How do we know? Meet Joy — the baby swan flying with the #Ax4 crew 🦢
More than a zero-g indicator, Joy symbolises grace, unity and the shared spirit of exploration. When Joy floats, it means: welcome to microgravity 🚀

If anyone plays board games, I just want to share with you a game: SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. They made LHC, FCC, ATLAS and ALICE cards! @czechgames Can we expect my LHCb and CMS cards in some expansion? 🥹 #boardgames
