It was a great day 😊
Just getting ready for our final day of Space Academy @CULTVRLAB. @cantonianhs @Mary_1mmaculate @Merryse235 @huwthomas_Wales @MelGodfrey8
Great to see the Deep Space to Deep Impact project getting underway in primary schools in Wales, well done @astrocymru 😊
Year 1 - 6 pupils at Abercurdin Primary throughly enjoyed searching for micrometeorites and receiving their Space Rocks booklets provided by @STFC_Matters @SpaceAmbassador
Very proud of our two summer interns who worked on the Planet Hoppers STEM space games, presenting their work @cardiffuni The project is now continuing within @cardiffPHYSX with play testing planned for the next few months, working with @CP2TC_CPIDd
Yay! Well done @wendyjsadler thoroughly well deserved 🥳🥳🥳
Woohoo. Super proud to have won the Civic Mission award after 21+ years of schools, community and researcher engagement work with @cardiffPHYSX and @scimadesimple especially as the other finalists were so awesome. #cardiffunicea

A disturbing story of obfuscation, censorship and catastrophic decision-making is emerging from the COVID enquiry, as @Kit_Yates_Maths reports 1/
“Professor Yvonne Doyle’s Inquiry testimony presents a stark example of the sort of censorship experienced by scientists during the acute phase of the pandemic….”
A great day of physics and astronomy this weekend if you’re in the Bristol area!

Enjoyed watching @R0CH3 Ben’s appearance on Caught Red Handed today, an interesting mix of crime, combat, science and sleuthing 🤣 Catch it here bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…
Yet more great work from the amazing @comet_chasers team. We’ll be expanding the programme to include more schools across Wales in the next few years & adding some international sites as well so look out for more ‘schools helping astronomers’ #astronomy #comets @cardiffPHYSX
More great observations of Comet 12P by our worldwide @comet_chasers @mar_ele (Greece) @stmarysbridgend (Wales) this morning. Here's an example of what we're seeing #MilleniumFalcon @faulkestel @LCO_Global @OU_SPS @OUCymru @senoj_draddots @SpaceAmbassador

Ben (aka ‘a judo expert’) features in tomorrow mornings (10.45) episode of Caught Red Handed - I’ve got the day off anyway, so it’s popcorn and a good laugh at a burglar who chose the wrong flat to break into 🤣

Another @comet_chasers outburst! Great work by the team - professionals, amateurs and schools working together, a collaboration years in the making but really showing it’s strength now 😊
Comet 12P has outburst again, and our @comet_chasers are involved in monitoring it

This outburst looks fan-shaped (not like a Millenium Falcon this time).
How it will develop?
Our worldwide Comet Chasers are scheduling more observations to find out!

Some of the very few people who will benefit from my plans to cut inheritance tax are my own children. Pure coincidence, obvs. 😉

I’ll be talking about this mission with @RealLynnBowles @BBCRadioWales after 16.15 not long after the sample lands (hopefully!) @cardiffuni @cardiffPHYSX Osiris-Rex: Nasa awaits fiery return of asteroid Bennu samples bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Victoria Derbyshire tearing pillsbury dough wanker, Robert Jenrick, a new one.
This is the level of scrutiny that has been required for years but the Tories get to play on easy mode.
When forced to provide evidence, they crumble like RAAC in a primary school.

Rishi Sunak scraps home energy efficiency taskforce
No surprises here
Tories - the party which cares for nothing apart from personal gain and b***er the rest of the UK
VOTERS are just there to be fibbed to every now and again until the next time 😡 bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…

Meat tax, seven bins, barefaced lies, fucking Truss and a country that’s beyond fucked.
Why is Sunak doing this? Tufton St? His enormous shares in fossil fuel companies? Shady Tufton donors having shares in fossil fuel companies?
All of the above?
They’re corrupt shithouses.
I’ll be on @RealLynnBowles on @BBCRadioWales Sunday from 16.15ish talking asteroids and exploding stars. Look out for some great ISS passes over the UK in the next week! #OSIRISREx #Psyche #JWST @CP2TC_CPIDd @cardiffPHYSX
So this is what’s planned for the old National Diving and Activity Centre - looks exciting! #scuba #Scubadiving #NDAC walesonline.co.uk/news/wales…
