To understand rocky planet formation, we need to seek out the solar systems that break all our rules 🤘🪐 At the next #RockyWorldsDiscussion, Thu 1 Oct @ 13:00 UTC, Tom Wilson will present one such rebel, LHS 1903, and what it says about planet compositions More: rockyworlds.org/event-detail... 🧪🔭

It's time to go beyond the simple habitable zone: what kinds of circulation patterns 🌀, clouds 🌦️, and climates 🌊 can rocky worlds around M dwarfs have? Hear about it from Takanori Kodama at the next #RockyWorldsDiscussion on Thu 6 Aug @ 13:00 UTC! More: www.rockyworlds.org/event-detail... 🧪🔭

At today's UKRI board meeting, the fate of UK particle physics and astronomy will likely be decided. Have we done enough to convince the powers-that-be to halt the proposed funding cuts? 🤞 Read Prof. Hiranya Peiris in Nature today eloquently explaining why these cuts are wrong.🧪🔭⚛️ 📖: rdcu.be/friwM

Restructuring research funding as a choice between discovery and application gets the economics wrong, the evidence wrong and the people wrong.

A premise is gaining traction in science policy on both sides of the Atlantic: that fundamental and applied research are competing claims on the same budget, and that the balance must shift towards application. In the USA, the current administration has proposed cuts of billions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. In the UK, the national funding agency UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is restructuring its portfolio around government growth priorities, with curiosity-driven research nominally protected but the grant lines that actually fund investigators under severe pressure. The language varies — ‘doing fewer things better’, ‘aligning research with industrial strategy’ — but the underlying logic is the same. Fundamental science, the argument goes, is a luxury that becomes dispensable when budgets are tight. This premise is wrong, and the consequences of acting on it are already visible.

a little trans pride Pluto for trans visibility day 🏳️‍⚧️

A simple digital sketch of Pluto. In this little sketch, Pluto is done very simple gray lind work. The view is centered on Sputnik Planitia, and you can see some of the latitudinal bands of different terrain circling the globe. However, I’ve colored Pluto with the colors of the trans Pride flag, starting with dark pink up at the top on the pole, light pink at the mid latitudes, a white cream color for the heart, and light blue for the icy glaciers, and dark blue for the equator and southern hemisphere. A little white sketch of new horizons is also shown over to the top right. It is on a dark gray background. I did the sketch in procreate on the iPad.
