It was lovely to accompany the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Fiona Hyslop, on her visit to the active travel project on the A807 between Torrance and Milngavie. Highlight of the visit was speaking to the very bright, articulate and friendly pupils from Milngavie Primary School!

Real pleasure attending East Dunbartonshire heat of Euroquiz 25. Questions were pretty difficult so well done to all P6 teams who represented their schools. The knowledge on display was impressive. Special well done to winners Baljaffray Primary School. We'll be cheering you on at the final in June!

Looking forward to meeting with Cash Access UK to discuss their proposal for a banking hub in Bishopbriggs. In person banking facilities are sorely needed in the town.

“Just three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation… The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media” We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

Morgan McSweeney has been looking at the polling and has noticed Labour has lost support to the right not to the Greens or LibDems. A Find Out Now poll published today is the latest example: CON: 27% (+3) LAB: 25% (-10) RFM: 22% (+7) LDM: 12% (-1) GRN: 9% (+2) SNP: 3% (=)

Utterly appalled by the attack on LGBT Youth Scotland by the Tories. We cannot - we must not - go back to the dark days of Section 28. I will always stand in solidarity with trans people, against those who wish they didn’t exist. www.thenational.scot/news/2473613...

EXCL: The Scottish Tories’ deputy chair has provoked anger with “Trumpian scaremongering” about the LGBT community. Pam Gosal was fact-checked by a leading Scottish charity after writing to a council questioning why pupils were being educated about LGBT people. www.thenational.scot/news/2473613...

Every spec of light here is a distant galaxy, containing billions, if not trillions, of stars. There are over 45,000 galaxies here. 🔭 🧪
This infrared image shows a portion of an area of the sky known as GOODS-South, which has been well studied by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories. More than 45,000 galaxies are visible here.

Using these and other data, the JADES team has discovered hundreds of galaxies that existed when the Universe was less than 600 million years old. The sheer number of these galaxies was far beyond predictions from observations made before Webb’s launch. The team also has identified galaxies that existed during a time known as the Epoch of Reionization, when the Universe underwent a transformation from opaque to transparent. Many of these galaxies shown unusually strong emission line signatures due to the creation of multitudes of hot, massive stars.
