I can't understand while one the one hand UKRI is willing to fund two AI labs for £60M, while on the other cut back on basic science. It's only an issue because Jodrell Bank sits in the STFC portfolio, which also has the energy intensive accelerators. www.ukri.org/news/ukri-la...

UKRI launches two AI research labs to stay ahead in global race

Two new labs will back British researchers to develop next generation artificial intelligence (AI) systems, helping secure the UK’s position as a global leader.

What surprised me most in those talks wasn’t the lack of prior attendance—it was realizing how many people *want* to cross that first threshold. How might we make the first step feel safe, even exciting, for curious minds?

I've been off socials for 2 years, but have to speak up. Utter madness to defund this flagship institution of UK science + education. International research, UNESCO-level heritage, training physicists (inc. me in 2000), inspiring public w/ visitor centre and bluedot festival. We must #SaveJodrell

Short-sighted, stupid cuts to the UKRI budget include shutting down Jodrell Bank, the icon of British astronomy. (Many other cuts too, including 20% to our brand new @vrubinobs.bsky.social). Interesting politically to shut down a major facility in...um..Manchester 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hello new followers and thanks for following ☀️ - sorry for radio silence, but had the worst and longest relapse of my chronic fatigue in years since two very difficult events in September, so capacity extremely low. Hoping more normal levels of service will resume in some months... 🤞🛌

NEW: The share of the public saying they'll spend Christmas alone has doubled since 1969. Our new research is part of a series of studies updating survey results from decades ago to understand changes in the nation’s beliefs and ways of living

One in nine people say they’ll be spending Christmas Day by themselves this year – up from one in 20 55 years ago
