Great to be opening the new @sciencemuseum.org.uk exhibition "Becoming America" this evening, open from tomorrow, free. Science & knowledge in North America 250 years ago, weaving settler, indigenous and enslaved learnings together, about power & nation building. So proud of the work team have done!

Congratulations to Pip Adam, recipient of the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction for Audition!

Got my ticket for Dune 3 in 70mm IMAX today at @sciencemuseum.org.uk, I had to scramble and had a panic when the booking system seemed to crash but made it through, no preferential treatment here! - www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/d...

Instagram has been going crazy for this snippet of our @sciencemuseum.org.uk assistant curator Gabrielle talking about memento mori; partly because she's amazing, partly because spooky season, and partly because Channing freaking Tatum is a fan! www.instagram.com/reel/DejiDzL...

Fantastic news! What a relief

this goes incredible places and I love everyone involved

start your day right

Join us this Wednesday to celebrate history & STEM by delving into the wide-ranging @sciencemuseum.org.uk object, library and archive collections. The session will be expertly led by @astrid-esq.bsky.social & @lauragrayblair.bsky.social www.history.ac.uk/news-events/... @sas-news.bsky.social

Jodrell Bank in Cheshire, the world’s largest steerable dish radio telescope at the time (now the third largest). was switched on in 1957 on this day. Built by Bernard Lovell, it was the only radar device that could track the carrier rocket of the Soviet Union’s Sputnik I.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

I think about this game all the time. I loved its vaporwave aesthetics and low-fi playstation feel, but also the whole concept and setting was great and felt so ripe for other stories. Definitely check it out.

Anne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.

Fab story from Margaret Hamilton, RIP, showing why Science-Mums are brilliant scientists! When innovating at the cutting edge of technology, it's so important to bring together a wide range of lived experiences. Sad that only ~20% comp-scientists are female 👩‍🔬🧪 ℹ️: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A fun bit of trivia about today's physics Nobel Prize: Francis Halzen won it for envisioning and leading the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, but apparently he's never actually been there! WFH FTW. (To be fair, it is rather... remote.)

The fallacy that University leaders pushing AI are falling into is thinking that the point of undergraduate research is to find things out. It isn't. What students find out is typically already generally known. The point of undergraduate research is to learn how to find things out.

Truly spectacular photo by Jean Marquis of workers clambering on scaffolding inside the parabolic mirror structure of the solar furnace in Mont-Louis in southern France in 1958. The solar furnace in the Pyrenees, built in 1949, was the first facility of its kind in the world 🗃️

Really fortunate to have been invited to a private view of the Bayeux Tapestry this morning. Pictures cannot do it credit, it's an astonishing object displayed beautifully. Feeling very lucky!

There is still a few days left to submit an abstract for #scifi #faith #futures #FaithCon in York! We are very excited to welcome @adamroberts.bsky.social and Courttia Newland as plenary speakers - it's going to be an invigorating few days! (Plus #BonfireNight in #GuyFawkes hometown - why not?)

News story about last night's record with some nice photos: www.msn.com/en-gb/news/o...

Tonight nearly 1000 people set a new world record for the most people performing the Vulcan salute in one location. Celebrating Star Trek day on the franchise's 60th anniversary at @sciencemuseum.org.uk

Pretty cool photo

What’s that Mira? You broke a Guinness World Record this evening as part of the largest Vulcan salute on Star Trek Day? Well done!

World record holder! This is much easier than running 100m in 9 seconds.

Happy Star Trek Day to all who celebrate. You might catch me on the radio later talking about our Star Trek lates and world record attempt this evening, plus a last chance to visit the Warp Trail of objects dusted throughout the museum, celebrating 60 years: www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/s...

Being based just over the road, I often go into Imperial to get some lunch or just for a change of scenery. I am always both hypnotised, amused and horrified by this concept art on the hoarding around some renovation work they're doing.

There are words I mispronounce to this day because I read them in books for so long as a kid without hearing them out loud that I internalized an incorrect pronunciation.

We had the pleasure of working with @sciencemuseum.org.uk on a collection of rare glass slides from Sudan. A huge thank you to the wonderful folks at the Museum who made this possible. #archaeology #Sudan #JebelMoya #photography #museums www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwOd...

Reactor was kind enough to publish a (far from capacious) deep dive into the late great Tim Curry’s filmography. Read it and comment and share as you see fit. RIP Tim.

Congratulations to all of the Hugo Award winners and finalists!!

#TodayInQueerHistory August 30 (1984) Octavia Butler is a revered voice in sci-fi. #OTD she won her first Hugo award, for Speech Sounds, which brought her greater prominence. Butler's work often explored queer themes. She described herself as a "hermit", closely guarding her private life.

Interestingly, recent multispectral analysis of this painting revealed that the original version of the portrait more prominently highlighted the couple's wealth and status but was later modified to de-emphasize some high fashion and add the scientific equipment: www.metmuseum.org/perspectives...

Great to see all the #LAconV #Worldcon posts. Hope you're all having a fantastic con, sad to not be there!

Headline writers knew exactly what they were doing here

one more for my less helpful, bandage-colored series / SLK #013 (of 1000)

Engage! One more Star Trek Lates, a last chance to see the Warp Trail before we pack it up and send it back through the wormhole, and a world record for most Vulcan salutes. To not attend would be illogical. www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/s... @sciencemuseum.org.uk #LLAP #StarTrek60

Make it so
