New article accepted @RISjnl!
Trailer: Morgenthau said 'scientism' led to disasters. Solar geoengineering science assumes a rational 'global planner' (or Liberal governance to that effect) for global climate aims. So we explore some Realism.

We are thrilled to host Lauren Reid (FU Berlin) for the next #FutureSpaceTalk (online)! Lauren discusses the interrelated movements of technologies, imaginaries & celestial bodies integral to producing knowledge about the cosmos. https://t.co/2iCFGKxlQT
Last month we held ‘Life in a planetary ring’ - public engagement with speculative astrophysics, part of @LancasterUni’s @CampusintheCity 2024. I’ve written about the event on my blog ‘Another Planet’: https://t.co/b9HY9FaKH6 & summarised it in the thread below. 1/14
The event made ME speculate - could a regular ‘speculative astrophysics club and planetary makerspace’ produce a cohort of people with a deep understanding of planetary rings, of how to move around them - and how to design ring systems that can do even more amazing things. 13/14
I love this Netflix reboot of Mr Bean. The central character is the same - utterly amoral and psychopathic, capable of both hilarious incompetence and moments of genius. But the noir style and new casting bring out the mythic depth of the Bean character. Bravo! #mrbean#ripley
Calling all curious minds! Campus in the city - a free, family-friendly festival bringing Lancaster University's amazing research to life at venues in #Morecambe and #Lancaster 11-13 April 2024! Watch this space! #citc2024#sparkyourcuriosity
Fascinated by outer space? Want to combine science, art and the imagination? Come to #Lancaster City Library, Saturday 13 April from 1pm, interact with computer simulations of planetary rings - and imagine what life in a planetary ring might be like. @CampusintheCity#citc2024
