Here are the suspected cases of corner-cutting in the renovation project:
Three brilliant talks in a row this morning at the Hinode/IRIS/SPHERE meeting, from fellow past/present UCL-MSSL PhD students! Great Sun research coming from @teiamih @toshuho @jemckevitt ☀️

Whilst I was busy taking photos last night we hit G5 (extreme geomagnetic storm) conditions - the first time since the 2003 “Halloween” storms. It’s worth watching out for Aurora this evening too 🤞 (8/n)
Great week at ESTEC thanks to my wonderful hosts @MihoJnvr and @toshuho ! 🌞 🛰️ So many fruitful science discussions, good job its now the bank holiday weekend 😴
Here’s what the wall looks like now.
Important to emphasise that much of this counter graffiti was done by Mainland Chinese who hate what the CCP is doing to their country.
Exciting news! My photo was featured in The Guardian. Check it out and learn about the perseverance of Hong Kong activist Finn Lau 📸🗞️ #HongKong
