The first image of the eruption. Taken from the Coast Guard helicopter. The southern end of the lava flow is about 2.6 km from Suðurstrandarvegur. According to initial information, the fissure is about 200 m long.

A message for my favourite Musical’s namesake, @OliverDowden to ponder as he continues to review our situation...


Corona means I am producing annual reports before November this year! Thanks to Moby Dick Studio for all graphics.

More agile robot arms, interplanetary parachutes, orbital fuel tanks and a new way to simulate atmospheric reentry - read highlights from the last year of #ESATech's Technology Development Element, the Agency's basic ideas factory #BestEngineeringInEurope indd.adobe.com/view/673a8d19-…

Sometimes a prime example is better than words — especially when it comes to explaining something to children. That’s what Jaralee Metcalf, a teacher from Idaho, decided to do to show her pupils the importance of washing their hands properly. 1/n

Who can I pitch my new dating show idea to? Me, living in the Netherlands, trying to find someone to marry for a post-brexit EU visa. I'd call it "Are EU the one?"

Johnson became PM with 92,000 votes. Boaty McBoatface got 124,000 votes & was overruled for being plainly a bloody stupid fucking decision. Just saying.

“Evidence- based policy can be a way of ignoring the social and economic aspects of scientific claims. Evidence- informed policy may be better so we don’t just end up in arguments about what evidence is best and ignore everything else” @NaomiOreskes #WCSJ2019

Opinion: The once-revolutionary space agency is being upstaged by unapologetic capitalists. Here's how it can reclaim its relevance. wired.trib.al/uANjWfN


1) Sources are vital 2) Once science is resolved it’s “what’s commonly known as the truth” 3) You wouldn’t quote someone saying the other side won in a football match (it would be fake news) so why would you in a science story... Important points on balance at #WCSJ2019

“We need to remember we’re all part of the information ecosystem. Everyone needs to step up their game to give people the science news that’s important to them. It’s not just on one person” Ira Basen at #wcsj2019 on press officers and journalists as ’masters of spin’

So pertinent for the session on the open questions in #physics today! When the #standardmodel doesn’t explain everything, the journey of exploration is a must @FabiolaGianotti In auditorium A #WCSJ2019

My slide of the #WCSJ2019 so far, from @cragcrest THERE IS NO FINISH LINE. 👌 Fits with lots of other speakers who have emphasised the risks of covering single “significant” studies.

❌ Stop sharing the photos of those who disrepectfully turned their backs during the first session of the new #EuropeanParliament Instead 👇🏽 ✅ Distribute this photo of the @TheGreenParty MEPs who were able to come back - more powerful than ever - as they stood up to #Remain

'Redditors are far more engaged than users of other social media platforms' Journalists AND press offices increasingly using #Reddit to find and share stories - AMAs being a favourite 👀👀 (Insert appropriate nod to @imperialcollege's fantastic @reddit presence) #wcsj2019
