A full-on week, fighting to #SaveUKAstronomy & PPAN from 30% funding cuts. There were highs (👇hanging out with fab-folk) & lows (@[email protected] trying to erase history in old Council minutes) but the amazing support & ❤️ from the wonderful wide astro-community makes it all worth it. Onwards and upwards 💪🔭

"Astrophysics research is in trouble". Yup, we've brought in the big guns to #SaveUKAstronomy, particle and nuclear physics! Thank you @[email protected] 🙏 📽️: www.youtube.com/shorts/omICc...

I believe this video is intended as an olive branch, but with the management speak dialled up to 11, I'm not entirely sure what has actually been said 😵‍💫 Credit where credit is due though: important discussions are taking place and this is a very good thing. #STFCcuts #SaveUKAstronomy

The future of UK Astronomy & Particle Physics is at risk from proposed 30% funding cuts that, if implemented, will be "genuinely catastrophic". Great to see this detailed BBC report on the issue by @[email protected] 🔭🧪⚛️ #STFCcuts #SaveUKAstronomy 🗞️: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Science, Innovation & Technology Committee will be questioning Science Minister, Lord Vallance, today at 13:30 in its inquiry examining the UK’s science diplomacy capabilities. I'll have my popcorn ready! #SaveUKAstronomy #STFCcuts 📺: committees.parliament.uk/event/26819/...
