Just a reminder that the STFC cuts will not only end all radio astronomy observations from Jodrell Bank and its e-MERLIN array, they will also end the UK's involvement in the Europe-wide radio astronomy network EVN, of which we were a founder member. Our international partners are astounded...

People do not understand how DEEPLY we are inundated with scam AI emails. Yes, they're all AI. No, none of them are bespoke human written emails.
