Worth noting that a magnetic compass does not provide navigational precision. 'North' is always moving.

Magnetic north moves towards Russia as it moves past true north, closer to it recently than it has been for centuries bit.ly/48UayJ8

New: Britain once led the world in nuclear power. In 1965, we had more reactors than the rest of the world combined! But, Britain is set to switch off all but one of our nuclear power stations in four years time. Here's why we must avoid that happening. 🧵

NEW: The HM Treasury 'Areas of Research Interest' doc. Lots of good questions to exercise researchers and journos. However, nothing on tax avoidance/evasion, tax havens or offshore (e.g. IoM). bit.ly/TreasuryARI #TreasuryARI @gemmatetlow @ArchieHall @JackTShaw @r0bdavies

If you care about the UK university sector, particularly its relationship with undergraduates, this article by @soniasodha is worth a read. We've been observing this decline since the 1990s, and it's gone on far too long. bit.ly/3AyDN7C

The Government's curriculum review is a great chance to reshape education, aligning it with modern workforce needs and inspiring students from diverse backgrounds to pursue careers in STEM. #STEMeducation

⚙️ It is time to re-engineer the curriculum. ✍️ With an estimated shortfall of over 173,000 workers in the STEM sector, @TheIET writes we need to ensure engineering is given the prominence it needs in the national curriculum. #PartnerContent politicshome.com/members/articl…

The UK government is trialing a new AI chatbot to support up to 15,000 small business owners with tasks like understanding business regulations and tax requirements. @GOVUK @peterkyle #AiInTech

The @GOVUK website attracts over 11M users per week. We’re trialling a new AI chatbot on GOV.UK to help people set up small businesses & find support more easily. This is one way we’re using new tech to improve government services, saving time spent…



Despite this persuasive @BBCNews story, the following remains true: If an infinite number of monkeys are placed in front of keyboards, one of them will write the complete works of Shakespeare within a few years. @BBCMoreOrLess #moreorless @TimHarford bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Government must undergo a cultural shift towards long-term thinking. Recent years have been characterised by increased reactive short-termism and reduced transparency, made worse by a range of crises and rushed spending reviews. There are 8 lessons government must learn ⤵️ 1/5

Another exceptional safety video from the @chemsafetyboard, this time concerning a 2020 incident during which 7 workers became trapped by hazardous gas, wearing unsuitable equipment and with no means of escape. As always, there are lessons to be learned. bit.ly/3BUNldi

It's not often that a radio programme causes me to stop in my tracks, but 'Choosing Race' on @BBCRadio4 was a true marmalade dropper. Has this phenomenon reached the UK yet? Word of the day: "pretendians" Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… Presenter/Producer: @ellielhouse


The world's largest aircraft is being developed by @radiaenergy to carry wind turbine blades. Much longer than a 747 or A380. Here's their website: radia.com/windrunner -

Some of these materials are new to me. “The UK government identifies materials such as lithium, magnesium, indium, cobalt, and niobium, as well as rare earth elements such as neodymium and praseodymium as critical.”

Our recent #CriticalMaterials report proposes 25 recommendation for how the UK can reduce its dependency on #CriticalMaterials. The recommendations include general principles and specific policies aimed at helping reduce the UK's materials footprint. Explore the report:…

I am, now, going to stop ranting about the west coast mainline. But it’s not some minority sport highlighted once a year by party conference, when London goes up and notices. It’s a thing, all the time.
