Last year, I visited #JodrellBank with my son on the way back from uni for the summer. So inspiring! Unbelievable then, that #UKRI have decided it's not worth funding. Please sign, UK science is disappearing fast! c.org/N2ZFs6z8Lp

Next time there's a Halftime Show in a football match (or rugby come to that...EVERYONE should turn off till the second half starts. Totally unnecessary, embarrassing & as @WayneRooney stated "It was crap!" We all just wanted the football back. #WorldCupFinal

#NORENG commentator is sooooo boring, where is the @BBC or anyone! No offence but it'll be better hearing the neighbours comments through open windows...

So very sad to hear about #DavidHockney. Such an incredibly talented artist, who remained true to himself always. In my teens, I fell in love with his artwork &, in my almost 60s, I will wear my "End Bossiness Soon" badge with even more pride. What an icon. We will all miss you!

Saddened to hear that Craig Venter has died. I was lucky/honoured to meet him once, whilst he played pool in a bar at the Plant & Animal Genome (PAG VIII; 2000) Conference, San Diego. His scientific legacy has (& will) continue to benefit all humanity. RIP jcvi.org/about/j-craig-vente…

Just watched the final episode of #StillGame on iplayer. #Exceptional. Who'd've thought the lives of Glaswegian pensioners could be the best comedy ever! Brilliant characters all. Many fav episodes...ready to watch again. Hilarious!

Anyone who finds themselves singing along to A-ha's #TakeOnMe should listen to this. Amazing journey for a song!
Found this very inspiring and emotional… maybe it’s my history of loving this song, or just the creative process and believing in something. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Pretty scary graphic #ClimateEmergencyIsReal
Our #climate stupidity in one graphic, updated. The stable Holocene and development of agriculture and human settlement versus unliveable heat and social collapse. @coderedclimate @SafeClimate @BreakthroughCCR @RogerHallamCS21

The government’s new Planning Bill is nothing short of a death sentence for badgers. 👉 Part 6 will rip up the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 — a law that has safeguarded these animals and their setts for more than 30 years. 👉 If this Bill passes, developers will have the legal power to kill badgers if they’re seen as an obstacle to building projects. 👉 Decades of hard-won protection will be torn away in the name of “progress”, handing wildlife over to bulldozers. We cannot let this become law. Badgers don’t have a voice in Parliament, but you do. 📢 Use our quick tool to email your MP and demand they scrap the Bill: protectthewild.org.uk/stop-t…
